      I don’t think there’s actually any way to “learn Linux”. It’s always just typing a series of arcane commands that nobody understands Sysadmin community seems kind of allergic to high-level, appreciative overviews, or gradually simplistic-> complex models of computer architecture

      I understand this domain is inherently complex, and naturally plagued with layers of leaky abstractions, etc. Plus the drive to “now there are 14 competing standards” to simplify things, being thwarted by economic incentives of how lucrative it is once you get things right.

      Seems likely that we’re approach big shifts in the computer tech market WRT asian trade war. Trump gets reelected, PLA asserts sovereignty over south China sea, semiconductor price shoots up 300%, and suddenly the “buy a new iPhone every 3 years” model becomes flatly untenable.

      Should expect a gradual shift in technologists from “extracting maximum profit” to “literally how will America have computers in 2025” problems. I hope to see a big wave of standardization, cooperation, collaborative production and manufacturing (hardware, firmware, and software)

      Untangling the horror of the modern tech stack is a “thousands of chickens, thousands of eggs” problem. Hardware/firmware/software all depend on each other, all depend on expectations of users/gamers, each layer having hundreds of competing variations. Need a Manhattan project

      Exactly. How do we start to unfuck ourselves? I know this is the perennial problem... Economically, I think root problem is still that it’s simply too profitable to be good at computers. Once you understand this shit, you might as well sell out and join the profiteer brigade.
