My mom told me recently that I could go harvest Strawberries from a field and pay for each Kilo I harvest, but while I am harvesting I am allowed to eat as many strawberries as I want. I somehow still feel like this is not legit and there needs to be some sort of miscommunication.
Well, you are essentially paying extra in terms of the time involved, so I suppose it wouldn't be too surprising that some places might allow you to do things like eat along the way since you can only eat so much in a sitting :)
Haha, for me at least I think I ended up wasting way more time fighting Windows when I was trying to do development on it. Though I have come to the conclusion that no operating system is safe from bizarre, utterly inexplicable behavior
Thats why ended up using Arch after so many distrohops over 3 years. (I can't predict what is wrong on a Ubuntu or Fedora, just too hardcoded without proper documentation or wiki)
I never did dev on Windows except Python as a teen which should work good enough on Windows. But after using Linux for too long, the work experience I did was pain because of no relaxing features and everything crashed constantly.
