I won’t tell you to “just change jobs”. I know it’s not that simple.

But I will say that I have a job in a line of work I genuinely enjoy, so I look forward to Mondays.

Whoa!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold it right there.

What about Babylon 5?!?

Yeah, I vastly prefer HP Pro/Elitebooks and Thinkpads over anything in the Dell business line.

Can I just have a modern Motorola Razr so I can pretend to be Captain Kirk again, please?

Well… it’s hard to argue with that.

If the theme song were magically, retroactively changed to Archer’s Theme, the show would automatically be considered twice as good with no other changes.

Yeah… How many “ghost devs” don’t produce much code because they area stuck in meeting after meeting that they don’t need to be in just in case “someone has a tech question”?

Personally, none. But my home machines all run Linux and my work machine is still on 23H2. But I’ve read a few stories about wider-spread-than-normal issues with the update.

It will take at least that long to fix 24H2….

I work at a place that uses Azure to run everything (not my choice…).

Everything we have runs on Linux containers, Linux Azure functions, and a VM that runs Ubuntu.

You can run Windows on Azure but you certainly don’t have to.

Debian’s website….

I do a lot of .NET development at work (back end web APIs). It’s all done in Linux via WSL2. All my code runs in Linux containers on Azure.

Personally, I’ve always preferred Scotty with his TMP era mustache.

Why not level 2??? WHY???

I thought Voyager had great characters - it was the only reason I watched the show. I always found the premise of the show to be very uninteresting. But that’s just my personal taste.

That was my question…

About time you showed up!

I’ll be in my bunk…

Whether you use Windows or Linux, the Windows key is the foundation of many useful keyboard shortcuts. You know, hold it down plus some other key.

Whatever your preferred OS, look them up! You may find a few you would like to start using.

But yeah, on my work computer which is a Windows machine, I often use it to open the start menu and start typing the name of the app I want to launch. It’s faster than clicking on an icon somewhere if your hands are already on the keyboard.

There are teams where I work that are basically using Excel as a database and SharePoint as S3 in automated processes… But at least no one is going to DIE when those things fall over!
