The only reason coders’ computers work better than non-coders’ computers is coders know computers are schizophrenic little children with auto-immune diseases and we don’t beat them when they’re bad.

Well... said?

My computer works better than that of others? I'm not so sure sometimes.

I just received an email from my home server saying that I have 8 sectors offline on my main storage Array.

I once told my father that people who work with computers run into problems all the time, it's just that the problems we have are at a different scale or degree from the problems someone like he experienced. He said that it soothed him to hear that.

I generally feel like the opposite is true. I have more stability issues because of the weird half fucked hacks that I've installed over 7 different attempts to use the CLI to make my computer hallucinate small rainbow dogs.
