The other problem is: How do you recognize what is "good enough" if you lack the skills/competence required to be able to say "this is good enough"? For example, I'm a frontend developer who wants to learn back

>The best product Google has is Maps. That's about it. Are we just going to pretend that Chrome and Android don't exist just like that, or do I have a different definition of "has"?

This aligns well with a discussion I had with some colleagues yesterday, and how good artists, authors, programmers, painters, etc. focused on pumping volume. My example was John Carmack's days in Softdisk who was forced to make games

Unfortunately the one thing that will always keep me to Fedora is System76's disinterest in keeping the repositories somewhat up to date with the rest of the world. It boggles my mind why is there no Debian-based distro that are either

In discussions with colleagues they blamed the absurd demands of the publishers in terms of hitting specific volumes (in pages), which oddly reminds some past relationships I had with management and sales departments as a developer.

Is it odd that that's how I used to see video games, as a safe environment to learn grit, how to reason about systems and choosing better actions, where "better" is defined as "actions that lead you to beat the game&quot
