Windows isn't Unix and as someone who has spent a career coding for Unix and Unix-like systems, Windows just isn't useful to me. I'm perfectly happy with Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD or even OS X or whatever it's called this week. The code I write generally runs on any of those and things behave as expected.

I've never really used Windows, but I have had to deal with the problems caused by developers using Windows. EOL chars, not putting a trailing EOL char in a file (postconf no like that), a lack of understanding of various Unix things. It's kind of tedious to deal with, but that's more the devs than Windows.

    [...500 line essay on the history, problem and solution deleted...]
    
    Hopefully this will fully fix the issue discussed."
    

    for a one character change that adds an additional, and unrequired, semicolon.

    Back in 2016 I finally moved from mercurial to a git-based tool for version controlling my home dir. I now have six repos. The link is to my first article on it. I use tagging on my blog so you can find the other vcsh articles from there. It makes switching machines super-simple and encourages me to write utilities to make my life easier.
