>I roll my eyes up and fix it
Ooh, new idiom! The dot product of "roll my eyes" and "roll up my sleeves": to privately steel oneself to repetitive, ridiculous, and preventable work.
>This is not that different from them telling me, 40 years back, to not do this and that. And me still doing it
That's exactly it. The patterns and behaviours that they yelled at and fought with us about were harder to adopt than those which they demonstrated with quiet grace.

Or "oh, non-native speaker of English"! > The patterns and behaviours that they yelled at I do not know how your childhood was but mine was without yells, but with extremely patient parents with two energetic boys. Said boys now try to be alike to their own children, and understand what parents went through. So they avoid being the assholes who will say "if you do not move to linux, fuck off" (this is how I read the article, at least, with my limited understanding of English)
