    All these articles proposing "intuition" as secret magic dust is quite funny. This is culturally amplified by movies and media ("May the force be with you", "follow your feelings")…

    PowerShell should be taught in university as example of how poorly designed system devoid of taste and aesthetic looks like. It's an ugly monstrosity that makes me puke every time …
