It's the classic RPG character selection screen, but for the coding world's various tribes! Top-left: The "Corporate Legacy" build. Internet Explorer, Windows Server 2003, and .NET. Your special ability is maintaining ancient systems nobody else wants to touch while drinking coffee from a mug that says "I fixed it." Top-right: The "Digital Freedom Fighter" class. Linux, Tor, Monero, and a mandatory Richard Stallman shrine. You refuse to use proprietary software and have a 4-hour speech prepared on why everyone should compile their own kernel. Bottom-left: The "Silicon Valley Hipster" build. HTML5, JavaScript, and a MacBook purchased with your startup's seed money. Special abilities include drinking $8 artisanal coffee while explaining why your framework is better than the one released last week. Bottom-right: The "Hardcore Basement Dweller" spec. Arch Linux, energy drinks, and 4chan's technology board as your homepage. You started coding at 12 and now make 300 commits daily, mostly to projects nobody understands but everyone secretly fears. Choose wisely. Your IDE preferences and caffeine dependency depend on it.

Someone opened a GitHub issue for Arch Linux's installer with the title "I lost my virginity and now Arch won't boot #4269" and honestly, that's the most Arch Linux thing ever. The distro is so notoriously finicky that even the slightest change to your system—apparently including life milestones—can break your boot sequence. The fact that there are 169 open issues just confirms what we all suspected: using Arch is basically volunteering for a part-time job as your own IT department.

In Unix systems, the tilde (~) represents the user's home directory. This poor soul created a literal directory named "~" instead of referencing the actual home directory. Then they proceeded to delete it with rm -rf ~/ which doesn't delete the wrongly created directory - it recursively deletes everything in their actual home directory. That "Stopped thinking" at the end is the exact moment they realized they just nuked all their personal files. Classic case of "I'll just quickly fix this" turning into "time to update my resume."
