Too bad no one will be able to read it. Better make it a video essay.

Subaru's have an increasingly good reputation for long-term reliability. Stick with and love the beater.
I find a certain liberation in not caring too much about risks of car park dents and "curb rash" and other surface-only non-mechanical auto-maladies.
Free yourself from the worry of shopping cart dings today! My solution was buying a hail damage car.

Buy the best used car you can afford for cash and forget all that dealership nonsense
The small and quasi-loophole to getting a good used car deal is buying a hail damage car. I genuinely don't understand why cars were made to have shiny paint. Cars drive on dirty roads with insects and pebbles abound. Paint doesn't matter. Car washes are crazy, except to abait rust

Apropos of the shortcuts here, I always wonder why developers don't go out of their way more often to memorize the Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, ... shortcuts in use basically everywhere today except the terminal. I believe they stem from the IBM Common User Access (CUA) design standard.
In particular the fact that Ctrl + anything letter-oriented makes something that is word-oriented instead, for example Ctrl + Left Arrow and Ctrl + Right Arrow let you skip word-by-word in documents, and Ctrl + Backspace lets you delete entire words at a time. This feels like it should be way more common knowledge than it is, like how copying and pasting any multiline document into your browser's URL bar will almost certainly format it into a sane single-line format.
i use ctrl + <key> quite often but didn't know about ctrl + backspace! Also, I think mac's cmd + shift + left arrow or right arrow work so well.

what if prison ends up becoming the most distraction-free dev environment. no meetings, no slack pings, no linkedin recruiters, just you, a terminal, and 10 years of uninterrupted focus. kinda terrifying how productive that sounds
Something like prison probably is the most productive environment one could be in. It almost completely eliminates the need for self discipline because it's all enforced.
That crashed my ssh session into my rapberry pi

That's pretty good, considering they give you 110 tries
