Ended up going through a #Windows installer and was struck by how awful this is.

I used to reinstall Windows a lot in its less reliable days and this garbage would’ve made me a #Linux user on the spot.

As it is, I bailed after XP, and eventually went to #macOS, but this still makes me sad.

So, uh, what should I do with these? 👀

Luggage test for my #NBPy road trip successful, now to wait nearly three long weeks… 😬

"I'm a full stack engineer"
❌ boring
❌ corporate
❌ cliched

"I can make computers suffer in myriad ways"
✅ distinctive
✅ mysterious
✅ they deserve it
