The indoctrination of windows is extreme. Windows is just as hard as linux, harder even with all the layers of obscurity.

And yet… linux is hard, and users decry RTFM as “not growing the userbase”

    I disagree entirely.

    Abstraction away from what is happening never adds value in the long run.

    Full stop.

    Vibe coders be damned.

      So you write out all your commands as machine code I assume? wait no, obviously you set the transistor state manually with an electron gun?

        You need people who can read and debug machine code and dig through hex and binary in cybersecurity.

        I use ghidra and IDA pro literally every week. And if you don’t know how to use hexdump, you shouldnt be using those tools in the job.

        Binary exploitation is common.

        So no, but you literally should be able to read machine code, and parse hex/binary in my field.

        100%.

        Okay good luck debugging difficult to describe edge cases.

        I’m not gonna continue to argue with you. Suffice to say, I wouldn’t hire you.

        Cheers.

          You come across as somebody that would be hell to work for.

          Full stop.
