  • I need a documenter!

    I have a head full of stuff that hasn’t had time to be documented, and being a single point of knowledge isn’t job security, it’s a major risk.

    My code gets documented. But so much infrastructure is just held in my head as senior SysAdmin. Wherever possible I just have a ride-along “up-skilling” (works like a RAID mirror for my brain).










  • I’ve always struggled with it. Often people let it degrade into a line with tiny bumps, and it becomes illegible.

    Personally I have am Autistic and have ADHD, so the fine motor control is hard to manage. I can’t write cursive neatly, but if I slow right down I can “draw” cursive.

    Growing up undiagnosed when I did, has developed a hardy set of calluses across the knuckles from teachers hitting them with a ruler for bad pen grip or messy writing.

    Most of those fuckers are dead or in diapers now.



  • No. Some of us were already there.

    Lifetime Microsoft expert here, I have had machines with Linux in one flavour or another for 15+ years at least.

    But for ease of use I just keep coming back to Windows… Because I know it backwards and upside down.

    The structure of it makes sense to me. And I have ADHD so I have a terrible working memory and Linux relies FAR too much on command console to do anything effective.

    But Linux is hands-down the better system to get away from Microsoft’s enshitification of Windows. But I personally like Windows better.

    So I will always run both. But if I need to be really productive, Windows Desktop it is. If I need a server, Linux every time. (Unless it’s MS SQL or a website).
