Nothing converts an atheist faster than trying to install Arch Linux. One minute you're confidently typing commands, the next you're on your knees begging any cosmic entity that might exist to save your terminal from descending into dependency hell. For the uninitiated, Arch Linux is basically the CrossFit of operating systems - its users never shut up about it, and installation requires the perfect combination of technical skill, patience, and blind faith that something will eventually work. When that cryptic error message appears after your 47th attempt at configuring your bootloader, even Richard Dawkins would start lighting candles and making sacrifices to the command line gods.

Ah, the seven deadly archetypes of every engineering team. I've worked with all of these people, and I've been all these people—sometimes in the same sprint. My personal favorite is "The Silent Operator" who hasn't spoken since the company holiday party of 2019 but somehow commits the exact fix at 2 AM while everyone else is arguing in Slack. And don't get me started on "The System Rebuilder." Sure, event sourcing sounds amazing in theory—right up until you're explaining to the CEO why the shopping cart needs six months of refactoring. The real unicorn is someone who's none of these. If you find them, lock the door and hide their passport.
