Other way around for me - got into Linux because some comrades were saying real commies use it, I was really mad at Windows that day to begin with, and I figured it wouldn’t hurt to try it out. Found out it’s… sucky in different ways, but in ways that frustrate me less and where I tend to be angry at myself for screwing something up rather than angry at a corporation for being hostile to its customers, which is something I’m angry about far too often as it is.

Tbf, if you’re good at that and getting paid decently for it, it probably wouldn’t suck that bad. There’s definitely people out there who enjoy fixing/rewriting broken code. Fixing broken stuff is a real thrill for some folks.

But it does suck that programmers good at other areas of programming, who prefer working on stuff that already works or coding new things from scratch, will end up being expected instead to fix chatbot slop.

And you only even try to set up #1 after #2 causes a catastrophic data loss, or costs you five times as much wasted time finding a file that’s causing problems.
