I love BurntSushi's work and find the article strangely familiar. I had a very similar start at pretty much the exact same time - a PHP CMS that I also under-estimated. I was 12, and my pathway was very windows-heavy unlike his. > I had never realized how much Americans like to should you to death. Yep, as an American in Germany this is something I don't miss. Germans certainly do this but it's always framed as a suggestion, or as an option. I talk to a few American friends back home and even on the small things they never fail to chime in about how to run my life. I have noticed, however, that it's not only Americans. Our counterparts from "across the pond" (in the UK and neighbors) also like to do this, though to a much lesser degree. Great read. I see the same thing on Github and over the 10 years I've been there it's only gotten much, much worse.
