How did one linux before google to give you long strings of commands to blindly copy and paste into your terminal with no understanding of what they do?

remember permadeath adventure games where when you did just one thing wrong (or hadnt done one thing right 30 hours ago and didnt know) youd have to just start from the beginning again, and youd slowly develop and evolve the routine for getting from scratch to your "last known progress" state that you could practically do in your sleep, just to then try something slightly different and fail aagain and have to start all over

yeah

well you see some day larry ellison might finally decide to get mad at me, specifically, and put my data in danger if i put it on zfs according to my slashdot law degree. therefore its perfectly rational to have it constantly in danger on btrfs

Don't understand why familiarity with library card catalogues is especially helpful when the defining characteristic of computer filesystems is that items can be nested arbitrarily deeply

You might as well ask whether people have ever put sheets of paper into ringbinder files, or books on different shelves. The analogy to a computer fs is equally poor in all cases

no you see people dont understand hierarchical categorization because theyve never been in a filing room (the only known case of hierarchical categorization in nature), therefore we should dispense with any concept of categorization and just rely on offering magic terms to the search gods to access any data and hope their favor falls on us. im a big smart ux man

He's a 1099 and I am VERY close to telling my boss this guy needs to go. His first PR was awful as well.

Ticket: We have some faults that need to be persistent across reboots.
Obvious solution: Store the faults that should be persistent in the settings database, read them on boot, and go into the fault state if there are any faults in the list.
His solution: Make a separate file per fault and save them in /data/faults/, then read them in on boot, then go into the fault state if there are any faults in the directory.

How do people like this exist?
:psyduck:

faults are files. seems like he does understand the *nix way
