Has there been a significant update to the devtools recently? I've been a devedition user for years, odd to see it on the front page of HN just linking to the homepage..

The competition is a lot hotter these days.

All of the popular interpreted languages we use now were dog slow when they originally came out and we still had to deal with many the quirks of low level languages back then but here we are. If you don't like it just don't use it.

So out of curiosity I Googled it. Either it's a really common mistake or a regional thing. "Colleauge" has 857k results.

Because otherwise thousands of developers will have to see that typo for the next ten years.

But at the same time you can't really admonish someone for not doing something you won't do either.

Cool guide but I'd change one thing:

  echo mynewuser:mynewpassword | sudo chpasswd
If you set the password using echo like this it will log the plaintext password in the current user's .bash_history file.

This is straight up ridiculous! Most people believe they are special so by allowing one criminal to go free (since you convicted the wrong one) others will be emboldened!

Exactly. If someone else gets wrongly convicted for the crime then the actual perpetrator now has no fear of ever being prosecuted for what they did. The fear of being caught for a past criminal act is a deterrence to committing more criminal acts. Once someone else is convicted for that crime, to the criminal, they've gotten away with it. If a novice gambler wins big early, they're more likely to take bigger risks later. The same is true of criminals.
