Reminds me of my first day of a computer programming class. My teacher told us to write down instructions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Then he would follow the instructions.
“Put the peanut butter inside two slices of bread.” He’d grab the jar of peanut butter and put the whole jar inside two slices of bread
“Grab a knife and scoop out the peanut butter.” He’d start stabbing the lid.
Beautiful analogy of what it’s like to deal with technology
For example I was creating systemd services and stuff because it is actually fun in comparison to init.d back in the days. Now I usually just copy paste tutorials and adjust it until my stuff works.
But my boot time somehow got longer O didn’t noticed it at first, but when I finally digged to the problem it seems that for timed Services you don’t want the Service to be installed(or even able to be instlled) and only enable the timer.
No tutorial told me that.
To be fair I didn’t read the documentation on systemd. But who does?
See also, the video where linus tech tips tries linux and totally borks his install after ignoring all warnings that what he’s doing is probably not what he wants to do
Pros of Linux: does exactly what you ask it to do.
Cons of Linux: does exactly what you ask it to do.

that’s good, but real computer programming is more like
Error: file “PeanutButter.h” not found
Exit status code 1
That’s because you’re a noob and forgot to add this at the end:
If work == false: fix(yourself)
What language is this capital I If acceptable and how do I purge it from my brain.
English and you purge it by invading Britain and forcing them to speak a cool language like Italian or Spanish
Pssst if the company’s realise it’s that easy then they wont need anyone to fix it
Exit status code -3736228494
In a Java program that isn’t supposed to be able to break like that
“Yes. Of course I have one exit status code. How do I look at it?”
I remember seeing a video where somebody did that with their kids! https://youtu.be/cDA3_5982h8
I thought it was hilarious. But you’re totally right, in the comments everyone’s talking about how they’re programming class had that same thing :)

Problem is:
I have no idea what I asked it to do!
