it took me 3 days to install it, with all the compiling and having never done anything like that before. that was in the dark days before live cds or install wizards

I didn't really acknowledge or care about red pandas until about 2013, when a dota 2 streamer I liked had one as a channel background

to elaborate:

i could take on more high-level design work and project delivery to make our stakeholders happier and our work easier, but i don’t think anyone else involved with this project is experienced, insightful, or sane enough to actually accept and work with us on improving things

I kept using a modded Amiga 1200 until 2001 or so, with a PowerPC board and poo poo. I gave up when I messed up a pointer in some c code and it managed to make the filesystem gently caress up all my data (no memory protection lmao)

Then I became a freebsd guy

Then I became a gentoo guy

Then I became a kubuntu guy

I programmed only in 68k assembly for years

Then I became a C guy

Then I became a C++ guy (which i still am)
