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++ - pretty wack, still a foundational technology - browsers, databases, game engines use it. High performance. Not planning on learning

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
