I really liked how Mark did not give a fuss about unimportant details. And, if you really think over it, those stuffs carry far less importance than what we attribute nowadays as a software engineer. I guess there you have the secret for how to be super productive, focus on selected big goals, and get great piece of work done that everybody remembers you for.
The flip-top disk holder with the Memorex disk brought back some serious nostalgia. I'm in the messy desktop camp, but I have occasional fits where I try to organize it into folders.
He could have raised his keyboard to the screen, but it did not look like he was much interested in flaunting his setup or cared about what people think, as all those are unimportant details to him.
It would be nice if Windows folders could have lifetime policies attached like S3. You could drop everything in temp or traces mowing that LRU would be dropped.
Fantastic to see both of you together! I loved the C64 Emulator on the crowded desktop. Desktop and temp folder are two sides of the same coin to me. Both should be rather empty. But well, I use both of them as well. Wished there were multiple desktops for file organisation though.
I really love how Mark doesn't give a F about stuff like that. That's so me! I also love a clean desktop; I even hide all the icons so that only the wallpaper shows. Great episode!
I’m with Scott on the Desktop folder. 📁 it’s a good place to put stuff that I don’t want to lose. Hiding desktop icons is a must. 19:20 interesting keyboard - but wait, is it the fingers or the thumbs on the B key? So many choices.
I need you to help me make my office chaos into awesome space like yours ngl might bug you for some of the stuff I don’t have access anymore like the lights and such
I definitely side more with Mark, but for keyboards -> once you use a Kenesis Advantage it's hard to go back. The only other one that's close is the microsoft sculpt ergonomic. If you aren't using an ergonomic keyboard at this point, and you are in IT, you are doing it wrong ;)
Mark’s windows internals books were so disappointing. The books explained how to use the utilities Mark had written. But gave no explanation of how they worked.
