Mind Your Business: The Linux User Survival Guide

Content prior to Microsoft purchasing Github, my code was entirely safe And Other Hilarious Jokes You Can Tell Yourself Volume II

The eternal struggle between Linux enthusiasts who can't stop evangelizing their distro and normal humans who just want to exist in peace. The NixOS fan is going full technical manifesto about package management superiority while the other person's "Cool." response carries the weight of a thousand silent screams.

Every sysadmin knows this feeling. Your manager thinks you're busy testing that fancy new Cisco router while you're actually sneaking glances at the ticket queue that's been on fire since 2019. The shiny new toys always get the budget approval, but somehow fixing the actual production issues that cause your phone to blow up at 3 AM is considered "maintenance" and "not a priority." Classic management move to think you're living your best network engineer life when you're actually just trying to keep the digital duct tape from peeling off.

The silent killer of build systems: auto-detected indentation. One developer uses tabs, another uses spaces, and suddenly your Makefile implodes because it requires exact tab characters for rules. The editor helpfully "fixed" your indentation and now your CI pipeline is a burning building behind you while you smile, knowing exactly who to blame. Nothing says "welcome to dependency hell" like watching four months of work collapse because someone's IDE thought it knew better than GNU Make's 1976 tab requirement.
