I know a guy who refuses to use Google services, uses linux everything, VPN, used a special open source version of twitter to avoid "tracking", alternative YouTube homepage, etc. Just told me about his 23andme results.

@mediocreDevops There's a lot of irony in being extremely privacy conscience (to the point that it is a lot of effort both to maintain and to struggle with worse alternatives) and then giving your DNA to a private company.

@ashfame @mediocreDevops I'm not big into privacy so imo not much. Some people would say they are worried that this data could be bought/ sold to any number of different organizations/countries/etc. The fear you hear is, a medical insurance provider denying service or inflating cost based on your genes

Tip for junior devs: Find something of value that lacks ownership and take responsibility for it. Projects often run stale, ideas go untested, workarounds go undocumented. Solutions go unseen. Become a maintainer or owner of something and be a point of contact.

@PrasoonPratham Windows for life. Absolutely the best desktop environment. WSL is a game changer for 85% of your Linux needs. If WSL isn't good enough, neither is Mac's terminal. So a real Linux machine to SSH into is a must, but your main PC is all about your experience and software

@HashtagFarmLife @CNBC So I fully believe Apple did this first to save money, BUT you likely have an entire drawer of old chargers already. I'm sure most of those chargers are cheap junk that came with lower powered devices. It would be far better if we all just bought a high quality charger.
