Used to take creative writing classes there in college. It’s beautiful, just make sure to wear clothes you don’t mind getting covered in mud and try not to go after a big rain because it will flood. Temperature is around 70 year round and it’s mostly hiking. Take a headlamp and a friend, tell someone where you are going, and have fun. Really incredible experience.
I think it’s a matter of expectations. I use stock Ubuntu and GNOME and have almost zero customizations. I haven’t touched it except to upgrade since 2018 and have had zero issues. I get it though. I also use an M1 and love it.
Yeah, using one of the big boring distros really helps to focus on work. I've switched to Fedora for my new box and once the hardware setup was sorted I just stopped messing with it.
I use Slackware or OpenBSD. I completely understand You said (I used RH based distros when I was at Some-Large Commercial Air* in Seattle (it was a joy minus my second set of mgr's)). As much as I dislike using Red Hat*, they are great at what You mention.
I keep count! If I know I had 4 ideas on a run, I can usually bring them back to mind if I focus. Even holding my fingers in the four position with one down helps. Sounds a little odd but I’ve found I do my best work while walking the dog/going for a run and can’t usually make notes until I get home.
Yeah. I think it's silly to make the claim, by and large. For me, using vim is like a hobby. It helps me get into flow state because I have fun writing and editing code using an editor I know well, have configured, and can zip around in fast without touching the mouse. I never try to convince anyone else to use it, though if a coworker shows interest I'm more than happy to oblige. It's the right tool for me. VS Code and IntelliJ products are the right tools for others, and that's cool too.
Yeah, but man does he get some great guests from time to time. Really enjoyed Travis Oliphant and Todd Howard in addition to the ones the parent listed.
