Hehe. I was always kinda late when it was in terms of technology when I lived with my parents. First time I laid hands on a computer was I think in 2000-2001 and it was Amiga. I had no understanding of english language but the computer itself burned itself into my mind as the most amazing thing that ever existed. I still remember being completely traumatized by leaving the companion in Anothers World in the tower (yeah I was a child and I even lied to my parents that I was scared of the leaches on the first level than to leaving my “friend”). Then I found out the amazing disk 2 of Amiga Workbench, damn, there were some programs of Amiga Basic stored there and those could paint rainbows on your monitor. That was magical. Nowadays it feels like shit but I really treasure that moment. Nowadays technology is a bit faster but getting hooked on still is as toxic as it was then. You just can’t stop researching it, except resources are much more available. :D

Hehe. You’ll find it one day. I am still in the phase of searching and I think I’ll never find it. Java is great as it feels great to me but I am not satisfied completely, I have Commodore Amiga background so having control (somewhat) over hardware feels right. So right now I am trying to understand Rust ecosystem. It’s weird to me but maybe I’ll find my next big thing in the process. :D

Dunno. Java was one of the first languages that fit my mindset. Delved in that for over 8 years to the point I feel comfortable defining anything in it, proves nothing just my dedication. I fully embraced the OO philosophy. :D I like the diverse land of programming. It’s always moving and mutating. I hate stagnation. :D

I feel guilty as I love Java. ;-;

Meh. I don’t like that “tin hat” approach. To me it sounds just like a novelty to try. Regular linux users will just look at that and smile and the newbies… well… they do the usual and follow the guides. I do not think anything will change with that.

But why?

You can do the same with fedora when doing custom minimal install, lots of options when it comes to older hardware. :D

Hmm. MyLOL flashbacks?

I am a silly old school DB developer. Anyone cares to describe it to me as a old school SQL dev and fresh noSQL adopter?

While I like the idea, I think it would become a massive sausage fest at first.

Maybe people will stop calling it facebook.

Henlo. I had no idea this place even exists and someone over there pointed me here. Guess it’s working? :p
