That is indeed the system.

Ah, the state of the gender paygap. It's 2023 and still a woman can't be fairly compensated for tanking an essential public service into the ground smh.

I can only think they must not have paid the poor chap enough. Just look at what's become of them.

I'm assuming they aren't close enough to just run some cat6 between both houses and have a single instance govern them?

I'll be honest though, although your plan sounds cool as fuck, it also sounds like a really terrifying project from a security perspective.

I choose to believe that Campbell deliberately selected that title to give everyone who hears it a Corrs earworm.

I will literally never tire of recommending "A Classless Society" by [ahem cough mumble idk just google it]

Historical summary of British history in the 1990s - hugely interesting to me, having lived through it, to see a higher-level analysis of what was going on, not to mention finding out a bunch of stuff that I'd either forgotten or missed at the time by being too busy with Airfix kits or scrumping apples in the golden dusk or whatever it was we did for fun back then.

Indeed, give them no quarter.

Tories practically exist to fellate the landed gentry - they'll come for yours too given half a chance.

I think this sounds reasonable.

Very probably too little, too late, but hey ho.

Me, personally, I'd one hundred percent fall into the power trap and just ignore it all and jump in the chopper to go and do a bunch of hookers and blow in international waters.

But I'd like to think that better people than me in that position would, y'know, use their power and influence for good.

For my money: yes, you should use an IDE or something like one, but not because you're "missing out" - rather, because a plain text editor will limit your progress.

There are (still!) people around who think it's some sort of badge of honour to only use text editors, but in reality, this means they miss the syntax errors and typoes that we all make because we are human, and end up wasting hours looking for them when an IDE would let them see them.

You wouldn't turn up at a cookery school saying "I'm still a beginner, so I'm only going to use this pair of scissors" - specialised knives and utensils are part of the chef's toolkit, and becoming a better chef is just as much about learning to use them effectively as it is about memorising recipes. It's the same with programming.
