And yet, I had to give a presentation at my last contract with basically the same information in this blog post because half the team was getting it wrong and the other half was tired of cleaning up. Not everybody knows their stuff (especially junior developers). In front end especially I've found people who can run CSS circles around me but can't, for instance, filter data returned from the server on more than one criteria without creating spaghetti in the process. Most places you don't get to pick who you'll work with. Even when you sit in on the interview loop, shit happens. Railing against it (and I have, at length) has never done me a lick of good, and trying to maintain the fantasy that it would has gotten me nothing but trouble. At some point you just have to identify what things people are good at and steer them away from working on things they suck at. And keep your resume up to date.

I went from daily driving mac and being very used to the desktop environment, and i am really hating everything i've tried in Linux.
