    Yeah, otherwise it would have been very hard before they came into being.

    Gen Z doesn't.

      If you're using arch, you shouldn't need man pages. Because you use arch, BTW.

      Wait, what? Arch has more comprehensive documentation than just about any other distro.

        I can’t live without vim.

        Sometimes I wander into vscode but it’s less productive for me.

        Plus vscode has weird name inconsistencies (the app is called visual studio code, it’s branded as vscode, and the menu bar says Code), which is probably normal for Microsoft but unusual elsewhere.

        Some of the plugins I find super useful for running stuff remotely, but man do I miss vim while I'm there.

            Yeah my question is does this person and 40+ upvoters think using Hyprland is a sign someone is a competent software engineer?

            Your question was "what?". Appreciate the follow-up question though.

                Is this supposed to be a joke or have we truly gotten to the point where ... coding in a terminal via like hyprland or w/e, without relying on an what is basically an annoying tutorial character from a video game that acts as an assistant...

                      I quite literally yelled at the introduction of 'the cloud' as yet another stupid corpo buzzword.

                      ...

                      I was working at MSFT the first time someone hsd ever asked me if I had a 'cloud' backup.

                      What? Do you mean a remote server, offsite?

                      No, no, in the cloud!

                      5 minutes of research later.

                      Oh, so yes, you do mean on a remote server somewhere.

                      No, no, in the cloud!

                        In html you end a text style with a /

                        So think of how you put an asterisk around words to bold / italicise them on sm. In html it would be <b>bold</b> or <i>italics</i>. The slash is an "end format" indicator

                        So /s or /sarcasm means "end sarcasm" and indicates by reasoning that the previous statement was sarcasm.

                        The diamond brackets got dropped because with them they were being interpreted as actual html commands on early forums

                          Yesterday I spent about 2 hours trying to get ChatGPT to walk me through the install process of putting Arch on a 2011 MacBook Air. It just wouldn’t work and the further along we got the harder it seemed and I really thought that using AI was necessary. I finally gave up and read the Arch Wiki and had it installed in under 45 minutes.

                              • Arch NixOS btw

                              I don't read man pages but I read documentation.

                              Am I also a psychopath?

                              I would not say that. I use a very old 13" Dell XPS laptop. I use Code-Server and duckduckgo. I have be known to program on my 7 year old android tablet with a bluetooth keyboard. For the most part I look at docs for JS modules as I write mostly in Python with Flask and use JS for responsiveness. Before anyone suggests something else I have to interface with a VERY old database that I wrote a webservice into through C#. I do realize there are other ways but python is my comfort point and the amount of backend processing makes it easier to use a "real" language. For my purposes it is plenty fast.

                                It does. It's wonderful. But it isn't installed by default. You have to ask for it. Or use the Internet.

                                      You do web development or something? Aren't you supposed to use media queries?

                                        Oh god no, ideapads. My dad has one and the metal parts hardly fit together after a year, the key travel is 1mm and the touchpad is practically useless.

                                        I like the key travel though. The touchpad does get fucked quite easily after some usage so I decided to just use keyboard-only. I've been using mine for 4 years now.

                                          If I had to use it daily, I would kill myself, but if you're fine with it, enjoy it. Of course it can't beat thinkpads and my Dell latitude 5290 (the new latitudes are pretty much the same (edit:as the ideapad) and part whitelist on tp-s).
