Can’t speak for everyone, but being root/Admin on a computer come with dangers, one of them being security. Beyond that I, there are also individuals that don’t want to or don’t have the time to learn skills that aren’t strictly necessary for their job.

I would tell myself to not push emotions away, since they would inevitably return as anxiety.

I have the same feeling about kubernetes.

I personally prefer the pomodoro technique. The good thing about it, is that it requires a task list to work properly. I start every day by writing down what I need to do today, then use the timer to focus on one task at a time.

Guess I’ll have to start hoarding games now

If you needed additional proof that fines are just the cost of their business model, this is it.
