Recent events have had me thinking a lot more about which tools we will be allowed to use in the workplace.
It was difficult to undo the damage that using Windows for most of my life affected my perception of computers.
Using Linux has widened my perspective on technology in general and made it a lot more fun to explore low level and systems programming.
Do many of you get to use Linux tools at work? How would you feel about more small establishments and local shops using software that gives them more control?
I’d imagine payment software, and a whole slough of other services are now sold as SaaSes when historically they did not need to be digitized or have an unnecessary middle man.
Just a little Tuesday thought for discussion. Hope you all are doing well.

I’m in the real world. I’ve worked for several of the FAANG’s and Linux is everywhere.
Hoping to spread the good word of Linux at my next employer… 😂 In any way I can suggest and assist someone in a transition to more creative freedom in their projects is a win for me.
I’d imagine you’ve learned quite a bit working with FAANG companies. Very impressive background!
A bit off topic… But is there a good starter resource/project for a VPS? Each time I revisit the idea of self hosting, the abstractions can get confusing. Interested in making a Pihole for one, but don’t want to make any tragic noob errors.
Chase DevOps, it’s probably the path you want to. I’d write more but my focus is shit right now. Perhaps tomorrow if I feel less sick.
