Raw Indignation

Texans stomped steelers, I refuse to build things on windows through GUIs.

Windows, Resentment

I continually lose momentum to weird PowerShell behavior, path nonsense, environment differences, or VS Code extensions behaving differently than the workflows I’ve already internalized on Linux. Half the time the actual programming problem is solved in twenty minutes and the next two hours are spent negotiating with the environment. At this point I increasingly see Windows as a compatibility layer for software that expects GUIs, not as the environment I actually want to engineer in. All the networking, scripting, automation, and infrastructure stuff I actually care about already feels more natural in a Unix environment anyway.

Once your workflow becomes terminal-first, going back starts to feel weirdly restrictive.

I’ve spent two days solving environment problems for workflows I already understand perfectly fine on Arch, so at some point the answer becomes obvious: use the environment that lets you build instead of the one you’re constantly negotiating with.

Football, Resentment

Steelers are so bad it’s actually unbelievable.

D.K. put on his best A.J. Brown Impression at (what I think) ended up being one of the most consequential plays of the game.

After the first big turnover, when we had momentum, the lead, and were in houston territory… he got butterfingers on a gimme.

We suck though, so after losing momentum – and C.J. Stroud more than DOUBLING his regular season turnovers – we failed to capitalize in literally any way.

This was one of the hardest earned losses I’ve ever watched.

To cap off the depressing state of Pittsburgh ball, Aaron Rodgers possibly ended his career last night on a pick six.

I wanna crawl in a hole and die.

Freiermuth had a pretty great catch when he finally got a target though, you’re my boy muth.
