Well, all developers give each other ptsd, never seen a clean code base in my career. They all turn to shit, because 90% developers don’t care, because it will be someone else’s problem later.
That said, yeah don’t do weird custom code, where you have to keep context in your head to understand the code.
What a lazy article, in other words there are no reasons to run debian on wsl.
If you want to save resources then you would argue for something more barebones, and your article would contain a bunch of optimizations for someone with a resource constrained computer. But you won’t cuz you’re lazy.
