    I am so fucking glad that part of my life is over. I think the last time a family member asked me for advice I spent an hour pontificating on how shit Windows is and to just install Linux and Teamviewer so I wouldn’t have to listen to them drone on and on about nonsense we nerds have been yelling about for two decades.

    Now whenever something stupid comes up even in a passing conversation I can just say, “I am an engineer. I work on a very small set of problems every day and none of them are related to desktops anymore. Sorry.”
