Zander certainly didn't help, the whole "planets" didn't help, but for me it was definitely Solaris. It took the wind out of my sails and I eventually left.
I looked at Solaris recently and it still sucks. Sad to see all that work come to naught but it happens.
- DonHopkins 9y ago"Zander, huh? I'll fix him. Is he running Solaris?" ;)
- citizen4 9y agoHonest question: what systems/distributions do you like? What Unix (or unix like system) doesn't suck? The linux distributions are all fairly sloppy, the BSDs are fine but starting to have issues as so much open source code isn't being tested there. Not defending Solaris here, but it seems to me that all the unix systems have become a little sloppy recently.
- luckydude 9y agoI'm pretty happy with Linux. Yeah, I wish it were better but it mostly just works for me. Commercial Unix is as dead as commercial compilers. Which is to say not completely dead, but pretty darn close. Trying to make money off of an OS, a compiler, a source management system is a non-starter these days. Yeah, Github is a thing but that's not source management (even though everyone thinks it is), that's a UI and a very very constrained work flow.
