Don't worry, one look at you and they'll know you're not worth harvesting.

What a terribly designed project if even compilation requires sudo.

As an immigrant who had to learn English (and a very small amount of French) and also programming languages, programming languages are much, much easier. You don't have to deal with tenses or conjugation, you don't have to learn pronounciation rules because most things you express in programming is not directly pronouncable, there isn't a million weird syntax and spelling exceptions that you just have to memorize, and you don't have this disparity between formal and casual language. Learning technical or literary writing is even more complex.

Computer science as a whole is in my opinion more like learning a language. Once you know the fundamental concepts of computation, different programming languages are more like dialects than full languages.

ChrisFix said once (in the first Mustang video at 7:40) that you try old gasoline in your lawnmower. If the lawnmower works, you can probably use it in a car.

Seeing a massive cumulonimbus cloud structure from a plane. The diagrams in university don't do it justice.

If you use one of those regularly just buy an ebike. Doesn't take that long for the cost of those ultra short term rental apps to exceed buying your own.

For-profit cororate tech: Goes down all the time and horifically inefficient despite having trillions to throw at R&D

Some random critical infrastructure open source project with three maintainers basically working for free: The most goddamn robust and optimized code to ever touch your silicon.

It's significantly easier to make a third party GUI for a command line tool than to make a third party CLI for a GUI only tool because you'll be working with an opaque binary that doesn't have any public APIs.

And eventually one of those "prankster" influencers will vandalize it and ruin it forever just for one stupid video to ride the wave of interest in the location and make outrage click money.
