"I'm not sure I've ever heard of Group Policy"
It cuts both ways. There's an infinite number of things to learn and a finite amount of minutes in a day. People that are too broad and know everything may never end up developing a deep understanding of a few things to be really productive.
There are certainly people that can straddle both worlds of *nix and Windows, but really how is a user of Microsoft's cozy development ecosystem any different than a user of Apple's cozy ecosystem? People seem to love the latter's setup but chastize the former.
- knowtheory 14y agoHey man, no judgement. I think it's great that the Microsoft ecosystem has developed a FOSS culture. There's not much point to saying "hey OUR FOSS community was first!" other than to say "the world you grew up in is not adjoined to the world i grew up in." I'd also disagree with your assessment of Mac users. I would go so far as to say that so few people deploy to mac servers, that I can say "nobody deploys to mac" and no one would contradict me. All mac devs have to have at least a passing knowledge of linux. A consequence of that is that mac using devs bump into (and have to rely upon) linux devs for expertise.
