  • 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.












  • See, now I have had a few things pegged as being in the denial phase for a while. I’m in Australia, so the housing market I have had pegged to collapse, also I figured we would be heading into a recession coming on 3 years ago and changed businesses to “weather the upcoming recession”

    Now while things have cooled off since then, and I still think both elements are overcooked, I obviously moved way to soon.

    So my question is, how do you time the denial phase? The housing market issue has been going on for about 30 years from what I can tell (though it got more reasonable for half a minute a bit over a decade ago and then went stupid again).

    In my lifetime, and I’m 40 now, I haven’t seen a proper major correction where bad decisions and greed was punished. I should have been “taking stupid risks” the entire time and I would have been just fine.
