Ten minutes a day is a daily driver? Short commute!

Oh my god this lady should be running a pet shop. She's had this role since 2005 and is only now dogfooding the software for 10 minutes a day? Stunning and brave.

Imagine Linus Torvalds or Theo from OpenBSD using Windows out of convenience. Unthinkable.

It's possible she used it on a server. But yeah...

I knew people running FreeBSD on the desktop back in 2003. If was good enough for them then, I'm sure it would be good enough for a corporate figurehead literally being paid to send emails all day.

With ~zero unix experience (I was moving from BeOS), I ran FreeBSD full time as a chemistry grad student from 2003-2009, on a Dell XPS, and mostly had no problems. What's changed?

(I'm interested in leaving linux and going to FreeBSD)

how is this not the most embarrassing thing ever?

I'll never understand why people think this looks human:

  What Made This Time Different
  This time, I didn't just install FreeBSD.
  I created a system for learning and success.

  Clear goal: FreeBSD as my daily driver
  Daily habit: 10 minutes minimum
  Accountability: post the journey on Linkedin
Gee, why not let the agent try FreeBSD for you and do the posting directly

whats more embarassing is the shit tier presentation slop. "This time I didnt just install FreeBSD. I create a system for learning and success".

Anyone who wrote this has no business with FreeBSD or open source.
