It's so easy to get carried away by enthusiam, ambition, pride, fear ... it happens to most of us all the time. Luckily I belong to the people who run out of energy fast. Therefore I need to stop and break and make a reality check for myself regularly.

I'm still driven by the ambition to achieve greatness (change the world, become famous, buy myself an island). We need to use our brains first to understand how wrong this motivation is, then to build great applications.

Edit: In my Python days I was a great admirerer of Jesse. The times he created the multiprocessing module. I hope he will get back on his feet.

That is an interesting statement. The reason why this little piece of work (similiar a resizable cmd window) hasn't been done before shows the fundamental differences between Linux and Windows in what the creators think it was made for. 99 % of the Windows users will never use the env var dialog. Microsoft gave the other 1 % (devs) Microsoft obviously a very low priority in the past.

That has changed. While I like Windows 10 overall, I still wish it was not so chatty. I don't want to need to think about what kind of personal information my devices steal and how to protect myself. I don't like it from my Android phone and I don't like it from my laptop.
