Sure python may be easier to learn, but it makes learning actual programming more difficult. Ever since the CS department switched to python, my workload as a computer systems TA has doubled.

you're not using debian? that must mean you hate freedom.

My advice is to get a hobby. Self-hosting, or home automation to name a few examples. When you have a specific goal for something you want to do, it's a lot easier to learn.

an alternate timeline, where Linus didn't make Linux open source, got rich off of it, and sold it to IBM.

sorry, i consider myself more of a Unix nerd than a GNU nerd.

these reports are very flawed. a lot of websites are only capable of identifying windows or apple computers. tons of them mis-identify linux as windows.

apples still have overheating problems? that was a problem with the first macintosh. All because genius engineer and giant among men Steve Jobs didn't think vents were trendy.

I guess the apples don't fall far from the tree.

that explains why the idea to replace engineers would enter peoples minds, but not why they would try so, so hard to get people to believe it.

sometimes, it feels like managers hate engineers, and are constantly plotting their replacement. maybe its because it hurts their ego to know that the engineers they manage worked harder to get there and deserve a higher salary.

or else, it could be office politics. anyone who can claim to have removed an entire department from payroll is due a huge raise.
