Or fire the guy! Happy new year folks :)

Well, I've been "working" much more than 40 hours for the past 3 years. I'm curious when I'll burn out cause I still enjoy it :)

@Ubbe I don't think that he said that it's better. Both of them has their strength. For me, I would rather use Windows on a desktop and Linux on a server. It's just easier for me to get things running on windows and focus on the actual work.

@Tribex Interesting. I guess the real problem is that not all node packages are truly cross platform, which is a bummer. Otherwise we wouldn't need to run it in bash either. I had to start bash when I was doing some Python 3 dev, just cause they weren't cross platform.

@cornyg What's the issue with Node under Windows Bash? I worked on a personal project and it was running just fine.

@Tribex how come? It works fine for me.

@hrombach Too bad mate ;D I would fire devs like this without much thinking.

@Tribex Use cmder if you need those fancy features: you can use standard cmd, powershell and bash in it, while it looks sexy, which most users want (for some reason)

@hrombach That code done exactly that! On thousands of entities times two + constant m :D Does that girl still works there? You should have a talk with her :D

@hrombach That happened to me too! It was so bad that I had to take a break since it was too hilarious. Then I rewrote that part and at the next release we had 30x performance boost on that functionality (it even had a loading bar with it)

I hope you find closure.

It filters out the bad frequencies, that's why the good ones reach her phone, duh

@baryonicbeing Windows 7 has already lost mainstream support, and the extended support will end at January 14, 2020.

@brod It has a package manager. Most editors have, even notepad++

@Kamil ProTip, set VSCode to launch on startup, don't close it :)

@fattire It's a firefox behavior. Use Chrome.

I installed it like 40 times in my life. There were no issues with it. The real problem that I had once was a corrupt installation on a really old system. That took a while to fix. But that was because we wanted to get into some UWP development, which is still pretty new. 9 gigs is not that much anyway. That's like one or two HD movies for a pretty good IDE.

@viking8 I'm living in Europe too, and I have a couple of collagues like the ones you just described. A programmer should strive to make his/her craft better. It can be pretty demoralizing when you do a task in 2 hours rather than waiting a week on the slow developer. The key is to enjoy what you do :)

@gururaju I just send them away. I have other things to do :D Most of them found someone else to use.

Disable the updates, do them manualy, power off with win+r: shutdown -s -f -t 0

@kudamalam On the Windows side, automatic updates can be disabled like on any other OS. Linux command line tools can be used under windows as-well, setting it up requires max 30 minutes. Look into cmder.

@FitzSuperUser Sure we do, since we have many options. I think it would be better if all those developers would work on one highly customizable profile based distro :)

Maybe that was automated or sent from a different timezone? Anyway turn of the do not disturb mode on schedule: that works just fine for me :)

Arch Linux for a leaner system.

Just don't lose control.
