Technology takes
Here is an alphabetical list of technologies and how I feel about them.
Python - solid, has some unfortunate legacy holdovers
c - amazing, some of the best software I use uses this, avoids many pitfalls of c++. I don't know it well tho c++ - powerful, ppl use it for games and it's performant, and some big companies use this. But I consider it deprecated basically, better alternatives exist
macos - closed source and tries to prevent you from doing a bunch of things in user-unfriendly ways. Good for graphics stuff like the adobe suite
terminal (generic) - it's great though the
powershell - has some good ideas, like the structured data approach. Has command syntax highlighting like fish which is good
windows - feels better than macos, but very fishy - pushing edge everywhere, putting bing in the start menu. But it can still run exes from who knows how long ago so that's handy. And WSL is actually a good experience, though dealing with that and virtual machines is not great. Powershell (above) is actually decent tho, who knows, maybe it's worth just leaning into the platform. As I understand C# and dotnet is actually well designed and implemented
