they’re cheap fucks.

This is also the issue with most tech job postings. I got this one job offer, entirely unsolicited from my end, to move across the country to Manitoba to a small town. They were going to offer up to $5000 moving costs. And the job was for a full stack developer. The salary? $42k Canadian.

I emailed them back telling them in blunt terms that their offer is insulting and far too low for any developer role.

I’m familiar with fish shell, but what specifically makes you like it?

Why not just make the alias command cat the file instead?

Edit: I wrote grep instead of cat

I thought that guy AL Jippity was just doing a ton of work. Like a 10,000x dev.

Uh-oh. I have three monitors, and one of them is a 43" 4k TV.

It even uploads all your files and deletes the local copies for you!

Saying the chance of something going sideways is smaller than on Windows isn’t saying much

True. I’ll grant you that.

I’ll pick a distro that’s stable by default

Arch isn’t “unstable” by any means. I’ve been running Arch EndeavourOS as my desktop distro that I develop on for years and it’s entirely reliable. Now I personally wouldn’t run Arch on any of my distros (I go with either Debian or NixOS), but there are people who do it and it works fine.

Edit: I said “Arch” but I meant EndeavourOS, which is Arch with some QoL improvements.

But if my client is angry and my boss is breathing down my neck, and I can’t work because a thing isn’t thing-a’lating, a support path is essential.

Arch is still stable enough for that. The chances of something going sideways is smaller on Arch than on Windows. And unless you’re a medium to large company paying Microsoft for enterprise support, you’re going to be stuck with forums for community help with Windows.

Arch is incredibly stable. The old meme about it needing constant attention hasn’t been true for at least a decade now.

Did I miss something that happened?
