I'm surprised how the asian continent had a pervasive notion of holism. They always look very wide.
"Interbeing" is how Thich Nhat Hanh would put it. Everything exists only in relation to everything else. It's relations all the way down.
Shellcheck makes writing shell scripts bearable and dare I say somewhat enjoyable. They have managed to collate all the shell scripting potholes and tribal knowledge into one static analysis tool. No shell script now gets checked in at work or on my personal machine without being pumped through shellcheck.
I don't know about you, but I can't buy bread with 'thanks.'
vim? Really you said this? OMG.
Vim's great. So great that I essentially use Vim on Emacs.
Vim Ffmpeg Zsh, fish, iTerm, Awk, perl, Ruby...
No matter where I am, what device I'm using, all my stuff is always accessible and with me.
I love it.

Well I don't get offended , I just roll my eyes that someone is okay being a walking ad for a company that has plenty of money.
Do you roll your eyes at yourself whenever you, say, drive a car? We're surrounded by things that have their company's branding prominently plastered on them. Hell, stuff like luxury bags (eg: Louis Vuitton) exist specifically to flaunt a company's branding. Of course, it would be nice if we weren't surrounded by marketing and advertising everywhere all the time, but that's beside the point.
> but that's beside the point.
uh that is precisely the point. Hence if there is some trivial way to avoid it, I like people who do it.
For instance yeah your car has branding you can't avoid. But you know what you can avoid? Those stupid license plate holders that dealers put on to advertise themselves. Better than nothing.

> saying his daughter smelled like a 'toilet' on his deathbed This requires a citation.
It's from his daughter's book "Small Fry". It wasn't on his deathbed, though he was very sick. She had put on some cologne that didn't smell good.

Software development is a much better experience on Linux compared to Windows (unless you stay within Visual Studio). If you do tasks that are well supported by your OS, your experience will be mostly good. Don't run servers on MacOS, don't develop on Windows and don't game on Linux. Or do it anyway and deal with the unpolished aspects of it.
As a lifelong windows dev, what exactly makes linux worth moving to? I understand that coming from a linux world, doing what you like doing in linux isn't always possible on windows. But I've never really found a use for any of that console magic linux devs seem to love. Pipe this into that and through seven pieces of software that sound like glibgcd, add 8 arcane flags and in the end you have some kind of textfile t…
For me and windows it was when it updated a hibernating unplugged laptop overnight causing me to loose several hours of genealogy work. I had been using a new to me application that hadn't been doing any sort of background saving while I put in information. My had some niblings come over so I shut my unplugged laptop thinking id get back at it tomorrow. The next day when I opened the laptop I was greeted with the dreaded "Hi" screen, and my previous days work was gone.
Windows also likes running the fans on my laptop way more than it should. Where linux keeps them off for most my typical work.
Neither Windows or Mac have a Tiling Window Manager, for me not having to manage windows is a dream.
Running docker as a first class application is nice.
But linux has its issues too. Occasionally an update really borks my system and yes it is a pain to find what went wrong.
I also love vim and emacs. They work better on linux.
