What a pointlessly nasty thing to say. I wonder how a person gets like this?
Most people don't know how to self-host. Most people don't know what self-hosting is. Most people don't know what hosting is.
This post is a prime example of a weird logical fallacy that seems to permeate the tech world in particular, and which goes something like this:
- For me, this task is trivial.
- That is because I have spent a lifetime developing the knowledge, skills and experience to make that task trivial.
- I lack the self-awareness and intellectual honesty to understand that.
- Therefore, I assume that anyone for whom this task is not trivial is simply lazy, and has only themselves to blame for their failure to perform this task.
- Therefore, I am very superior and very smart.
It's like the Upper Class Twit Of The Year Show, but with pleadings.
This is just weird. Like, he could obviously afford the train fares, and in any event employers like HSBC usually subsidise or at least provide interest-free loans to cover the (admittedly exorbitant) costs of season tickets. Why do this? A cheap thrill?
She's right, of course. Although those losers hanging around ports in balaclavas aren't so much intimidating as just sad. Like, you just know that every one of those guys has lost access to their kids and lives on their own in a shitty little flat above a shop with only Stella and a stupidly oversized telly for company.
Yeah, that was a "finger through the toilet paper" moment. A return to the Troubles is the last damned thing we need right now.
What a horrible thing to say.
Life stuff happens as you get older. Jobs, moves, marriages, kids. Time becomes shorter. There isn't as much time for the things you describe. But I still have one or two friends from my early teens and even now, as I stare down the barrel of the big five-oh, we can not see each other for months or even years and then we speak and it's like it's 1993 again and we're all the same people, just a bit greyer and fatter.

Their chief weapon is surprise. Surprise and fear. And ruthless efficiency. And an almost fanatical devotion to the Pope. And nice red uniforms. Damn. I'll come in again.
