Unrelated to the post and discussion at hand, I just want to point out that I enjoy finding a fellow regex scholar in the wild.

Yes.

Not necessarily. I’ve seen failures like this if the boot partition works, but fails to mount the root partition. systemd then fails to proceed, and shuts down the running services.

Not without mounting its root partition on the failing harddrive

I was like that once. I solved it by quitting my job for a less stressful one.

Any particular languages?

I’m a guitarist myself. Piano is certainly up there on the list of skills I wish I had.

I’m a hobbyist programmer myself. I’ve picked up a few languages along the way, and by far the best approach I have found to learning is a simple but real practical use case. Find the smallest task you want your program to do, break it down into even smaller subsections, and then start to figure out how to transform it into code. It usually takes less code and knowledge about a language than you think.

I’m having a hard time imagining that creating shareholder value was ever a motivation for those working on the floor.
