WSL Isn't Linux 6 years ago

can confirm. i've also found really odd bottlenecks with hyperv virtual switches (even with "for workstation" sku with a 3970x). i now have a proxmox ve machine for all local non-windows needs on an i7 nuc.

Code is just instructions, so ... yeah humans can totally be replaced with something more efficient & better... but what does 'better' really mean? is the output lower latency? higher concurrency? did it do something amazing with little resources?

I've only been in the industry 20yr, but I've met a wide range of people with different goals that drive many factors of many outcomes; as long as people are in the picture stuff is going to be inefficient from 1 pov, while at the same time human diversity can be a huge pool of talent/skill/creativity that a code generator can't have by design (it's solving for efficiency).

It would be a mistake to think things are never going to change. I think it's more reasonable to plan for change and try to keep a head of it by being relevant in a field that interests you, and has demand.

- doesn't solve the problem - adds unneeded/unwanted complexity (excessive ops for cleverness)

kinda like the DOM structure & bad CSS on the webpage... why is the side nav in the header, yet has a min-height of 1000px? what happens when the screen is taller? :)

practice like a pro athlete. the common belief that you need 10k hours to master something is imo, applicable to a 10x dev. when you hit 10k, if it's only during work hours you've likely mastered whatever mattered to your manager/org in that time frame, but that is not always transferrable or valuable to a new manager/org; practice is though.

practice creates experience, and if you have the resolve to push yourself out of your comfort zone and learn to master new areas, you should find yourself able to do things quicker than people that aren't familiar with the problem domains, easily attaining a 10x output while not creating problems.
