My trajectory was win 3.11, then macos 7 & 8, then windows 98… Windows 7 > macOS again as a dev > Linux when I finally got to pick my own software and IT wasn’t what paid the bills.
Windows was always broken so you had to learn to fix shit
Mac never did quite what you needed so you had to work around stuff and try harder
… Next/Mac got me very literate with Unix
… Linux is just kinda what I know.
But Unix based macos really is an excellent os. It’s just a shame its so locked to their hardware.

I had a GUI - windows 3.11
But it was so slow. So I made my own gui/menu system that ran in dos. I was between 9-11 I reckon.
Not sure where that lands me on the spectrum of coddledness

The reason they are paid more than you is because they have a skill you will probably never possess.
Through a mixture of selfishness and manipulation they are able to evade ever having to be self reliant. This means they are experts at getting work done through others.
Which, unfortunately, is what management is all about.

I agree, but I also think I subconsciously would have come to the same conclusion regardless and im not proud of that at all.

Similar though far less extreme thing happened to me in highschool ~99
Some kid decided to rename the other kids home directory folders because they were their student IDs, not an easily identifiable name.
Sure enough, when said students went to log back in, their data was gone.
They took away MY access because they wanted me to come to the staff room to get it restored so that I can fix it for them.
Why we had access to all students home directories and data is beyond me FFS. But yeah.
I did plenty of shit I shouldn’t have done, for sure, but that wasn’t me, and it was the one time I got my access revoked.
Anyway, it was a good lesson to install a keylogger on a few machines which logged to the local c: and then I got some other accounts for free internet and print credit so there was no more logging me out after that.

I hear your security concerns but what timeline were you living on?
95 was revolutionary but buggy AF NT I didn’t have much to do with 98 was a patch to fix the bugs in 95 98 SE was mostly stable and a decent is, plus USB ME was a piece of shit excuse to something 2000 was decent. XP v1 XP finally made a stable os, because it got rid of the shit we dragged in from 95 Vista was hot garbage 7 fixed vista an imo was the best is MS ever made 8 was more hot garbage because they lost the mobile war 10 was an apology for 8 11 is shareware / adware
Where did you find safe harbour in this shitshow?

Hard agree. My takeaway is the moral of the story is always do quality engineering. There have been like 10 movies and they still don’t know how to construct an enclosure.
