As a developer, I thoroughly enjoy watching the flood of successful compiles. It's the only time that actually happens the first time..
I knew golden retrievers were smart, but so smart that they're leaving reddit for lemmy? Geniuses!
Me trying to fumble my way around setting up my own lemmy instance. To be fair though, all their instructions are wrong.
I had a university lecturer who would talk on such a complex level I'd just fall asleep from confusion. Turns out he used to be a Gentoo dev. Figures.
When I installed Gentoo back in the very early 2000s I genuinely had no idea what I was doing. I printed out the entire install doc, then launched into the install with no working computer and just the paper doc.
I didn't know what I was doing but the install doc was good enough that I got a working installation!
I remember baffling some people on a forum asking for help with something dead simple and them not understanding how I had a working system without understanding that thing.
"But... you installed Gentoo from scratch, how do you not know this?"
"I just followed the install doc!"
