The AUR is the reason I don’t use Arch. It’s a huge pain in the ass and the opposite of lazy. I truly don’t understand this comment.
Maybe I’m misunderstanding the point of the AUR, but my understanding of it is that it fills a similar role as PPAs/third party repos in debian/ubuntu. To use the AUR, you have to first:
Then, for every package you have to:
Then, every time you want to upgrade the software, you have to do it all again.
Admittedly, this is not a ton of work. But having to do it for every package and every upgrade is a very real hassle, when most of the time I just want to be using my computer.
Contrast this to a PPA/third party repo in debian/ubuntu.
… and you’re done. You get seamless automatic upgrades. There’s no compilation or need to install extra build dependencies. It’s so much easier.
I truly do not get why Arch users put up with the AUR.
The title should be “Influencer dies after contracting cholera-like disease and refusing medical help.”
My opinion: don’t sweat it, either way. I know that’s easy to say from the outside, but it’s still true. Do what you are most comfortable with. It sounds like you have plenty of ammunition if you want to put your foot down & insist on quality practices. Reject PRs that don’t meet best practices, and point to the internal docs you have. If the dev reacts angrily, blame the company & say you are worried about getting in trouble.
Or if confrontation makes you more uncomfortable, just let it slide. If the shit hits the fan, the senior dev is the senior dev. Just say you were following their lead.
Above all, remember that the company you are working for is not your friend and not your ally. Look out for your own interests first & don’t stress about work as much as possible (I get that’s easy to say and tough to do, but it’s still the best idea!)
The Microsoft ❤️ Linux image is a weird choice. WSL is neat but Microsoft will never support Linux on their hardware.
They clearly like the boot, so
