For longest time I used Samsung Galaxy with CyanogenMod, while it was usable. It was pretty much a stretch. I'm also guessing using that old ass phone for so long is one of the huge factors why smartphone isn't a big part of my life (as it seems to be for most of people of my age). Since my phone was so slow and barely worked I always opted for other means of communication and face-to-face socialising.

10 years is pretty long time. Like think about still using first generation iPhone

I still don't see the killer feature here. It just throws around ton of commands, most of which are completely unnecessary.

So this is for people who don't know how to use aliases (bash or git)?

Chromebooks are great for most people, I even used one in college, but I did "side load" Ubuntu with Crouton for programming.

>security-focused Linux distributions

>Kali

I don't even know where to begin with this one...

Kali definitely is not "security focused", it JUST a pile of scripts added on top of flavour of the month Debian. At least in Backtrack days it tried to be all secure and invisible and sneaky and shit, but then noobs complained since they couldn't figure how to start X or how to enable network interfaces.

Now it's just bunch of script kiddies running shit they know nothing about and then crying when some version update breaks random dependency they weren't even aware of.

>in what way is whiteboarding like real work deadlines?

hurdur, what is stress, I dunno. Why is everyone on this site suffering from autism?

>My brain requires time to focus inward to formulate complex thoughts, and interrupting any time I pause narrating doesn't give me that time to think.

So basically what you are saying is that you are some kind of snowflake that requires it's own room to concentrate and be productive and you can't even think while doodling on a whiteboard.

In my books that counts against you, that doesn't mean you are straight out, but it definitely makes you a liability to some degree.

Meh, if you can't even handle a tiny whiteboard situation how are you going to handle any deadline pressure? It's not about knowing the right answer off the top of your head, it's more about how you work and approach the problem.

Sure some bad companies expect you to be able to write something very specific on the spot, but thous are pretty rare imo.

No, but you can call yourself Data Scientist, I hear they make big bucks what with the big data and analysis and stuff.

I have a degree that says I'm an engineer, so I'll call myself an engineer thank you very much.

>Especially for developer-types, having lots of VMs running is a thing

Really? Why do you need lots of VMs? Back when I did front end stuff I used Vagrant, so that's one, but maybe I weren't a real developer.

Now days I work with embedded stuff and only reason some people run VMs is that some clients use VPNs that require Windows, so they are running Linux on top of Windows, but again that's just one VM.

If I already have a Mac and I'm invested into the Apple ecosystem things on Windows needs to be 10-100 times better for me to make the switch.

If you are just starting out or you aren't in the Apple's ecosystem (e.g. you don't have Idevices) then Windows might be the place for you. I'd still go with Linux personally, but that's just me. Or if you just need more power, but I'm guessing most people here don't actually NEED that much power
