Germany doesn’t exist.
‘Don’t reinvent the wheel’. If the earliest (re-)invention of the wheel, known to us, was flawless, it wouldn’t have been reinvented so many times. There will always be new obstacles, new scenarios and new expectations. I get it. It’s intended as a reminder to look up existing solutions for a problem before starting entirely from scratch. But, especially in software development, where this phrase is often used, this reminder is rarely necessary…
I always choose hardcover. I try to keep the number of my owned physical books low. So when I do buy it, I want my eyes to be satisfied and they prefer the looks of hardcover. Since I usually buy secondhand books, overall it’s very cheap (although I don’t have high standards on the book’s condition).
They must be proud of Elixir.

That’s what I asked Annette.
#1 If someone has the macho habbit of not feeling in need of documentation, they need to unlearn it.
I never dual-booted and I noticed I escaped a few traps. At best I’d base the decision on some research whether or not there is a way to run your irreplaceably essential software.
I use mainly fish and occasionally nushell.
I didn’t get far learning any language using free online resources (technically English, but that was/is rather a passive learning experience).
I mostly used Duolingo to take the first steps and to challenge my interest for the language. At a certain point I prefer language-specific services, e.g. for Esperanto there is lernu (I stopped that, because I hated a few concepts of the language).
I learn Japanese on and off. I’m currently at my third or fourth attempt I believe xD I tried a lot from (again) Duolingo, JapanesePod101 to Memrise. On the long-term I prefer to use online resources secondary, e.g. existing Anki vocabulary decks to guide my textbook. And for a language like Japanese I like to use different kinds of dictionaries, articles and historical context, because sometimes there simply isn’t a definite answer T_T
If the workflow at a workplace requires a consistent experience across all PCs…why doesn’t that workplace enforce that consistency?
I understand your frustrations, but corporate or organizational needs should not technically limit the personal needs of using a personal computer.
(And when people, used to a strict environment, are overwhelmed by the amount of freedom in their new environment, I think it’s better to guide them through the options instead of just taking away everyone’s freedom)
When my mom used her laptop, she was using arch btw! It was only for browsing though. Firefox was auto launched and she didn’t have to learn anything. It obviously wouldn’t have been a good choice, if I wasn’t able to do the updates.
Very happy with my Arch setup since 3-4 years I believe. But my laptop that I use and update too irregularly to justify having Arch on it, probably needs an alternative :D
I know people mean it well and I respect that. But it’s a little indirect insult, when their first reaction is to assume that you feel bad about it and to patronize you.
Of course there are people with that mindset among short dating men who often aggressively blame women’s standards. So I try to be not too upset about it.
#1 finds ways to not give you a solution despite having one. #2 finds ways to give you a solution despite not having any.

I don’t know the current state of Debian installation. But not too long ago, installing Arch Linux felt much easier lmao
There is no sense of pride. Every text/code editor has key combinations that many users will learn eventually. Vim has easier key bindings.
