Then I misread it. He seemed like he expected a beginner-friendly experience.

If he is experienced, and use Debian as an example of how Linux is not beginner-friendly, then he must be trolling.

I'm from Denmark. Most people here are middle class.

It is common to own a vacation house here, if that is your interest.

Owning a business is also very common here, you gotta make a living somehow. And sure, if you manufacture something, why not export.

I don't know how common it is to go on 5 star hotels here. I don't really look at the stars. But if the cheapest available hotel that fit my needs happens to be 5 star, then that's where I go.

I'm definitely not rich here.

Really? It seems to me that wherever I go they use the same plug*, and I can charge with my debit card. (Except one place in Germany, but I think it was an error in the payment system.)

Yes, there's technically two different plugs, but they go in the same socket in my car. It just that the fast ones have a larger plug.

The problem is that some of them are much cheaper if you have the right card, but I believe the most expensive ones are still cheaper than fueling an ICE car.

Yeah, that seems like a much bigger problem.

I haven't read it, but it could be to demonstrate how easy it was to identify it as a fake, without the ressources of BBC.

Yes, there it obviously means "no parking". You were complaing about the little bits between the parking spots. Right?

I don't see the problem. Don't park outside the marked area. Red line is reminding you, because lots of people think the marked rectangle is a suggestion.

Doesn't that just mean "stay within the lines"? Which you probably must do anyway, so it's just a reminder?

You still can't blame the word.

You lost me at "bailiff". You are overthinking the analogy.

I see why you want to avoid the word at YOUR workplace. But the problem is your workplace, not the word.

I like to call it "debt", because it's a problem that grows while you ignore it. Worst case, it becomes easier to start over than fixing it. But getting 100% rid of it isn't good business either.

Like all other analogies, don't overthink it. I don't now what "involuntary liquidation" would mean for tech debt. Unless you mean the product won't run for a significant amount of time due to overwhelming tech debt, which can absolutely happen.

True, I didn't think that far back.
