What’s so shitty? I’ve been using Linux for over 20 years, and Mac for work over 5. I have my terminal under f12 (iterm2/Konsole), I have my ide on one desktop, my calendar, my email and my slack on a another and a browser on another. I barely notice any difference. Honestly I don’t mind it at all. In fact if my desktop died and had to replace it, I might get a Mac mini instead.

I know, as long as you don’t want scalability, maintainabiliy, reliability or security.

There’s an Intel one in there…

I have bad news for you…

Are you hosting your code in any way accesible from the internet? Gitlab, gitea, forgrjo?

Or at least create boilerplate, test cases, etc.

And glibc!

You don’t get ad IN Arch. You get ads OF Arch, unsolicited, in your inbox.

I use Arch, btw.

Many Samsung TVs use tizen, a Linux (non-Android) OS.

With YouTube 55% of the money goes to the creators (and they don’t need to pay hosting costs).

I love when two conflicting conspiracy theories meet online.

I work with banks, insurance companies, telecoms, manufacturers and ocassionally retailers in Europe, they all use Oracle for well over half of their applications.

That’s some funky code, pagination is much easier than that, unless there’s something else going on.

Is this hyperbole? I really doubt someone can be a SWE for even 2 years and not know what oracle does…

They are doing something wrong. Say what you want about their commercial strategy, the product itself is pretty good. It can definitely do pagination, and I hope they are not doing skip and limit.

It hasn’t been popular? I guess you mean “cool” or “trendy” but well more than half of enterprise applications work on oracle, closer to 75% in fact.

Yes, plenty of companies are exiting oracle but it will still dominate for at least a decade. Sometimes there’s just no good equivalent, and no, Postgres cannot compare even tho it’s a great DB for many use cases.

Lawyers are always in demand!

Give it a honest shot, learn the limits, help your team establishing best practices. Depending on the language, framework and vertical it can be mor e or less autonomous.

It always needs good specs, clear steps, and lots of testing. Some of which can be automated by the AI itself. Make sure you write yourself or strictly review (am besten im vieraugenprinzip) the code that touches anything related to money or safety.

Thinkpads are usually acquired as enterprise retire their stock, 2 or 3 year old devices for a fraction of the new price.

Thinkpads had 3rd party replacement parts for the last 20 years.
