What does linux feel like?
From Big Think Interview With David Heinemeier Hansson:
I felt exactly the same way. I was absolutely not convinced that I was going to be a programmer when I was working with PHP and Java.
He’s talking about the experience of moving from Java to Ruby.
I can say the same thing about linux ^_^
There were times when I was doing work under windows where I just got burned a lot and I was feeling that maybe programming is not for me after all. I was using python, but it was still windows, and while the language itself was awesome, the windows environment sucked horribly.
