There’s often a skill that seem interesting, but I can’t see doing anything for me in my day-to-day life. What have you learned that was a lot more effort than the payoff was worth?

    Oh hey I did this a decade ago as well!

    During that time, I was obsessed with typing faster thinking that would get me paid more at my job.

    A major point: you can’t help people on their computer without mentally switching

    Helping coworkers was annoying. Helping my mom set up her computer was annoying.

      Yes it is inconvenient asf when it’s not your own setup. I use window for work and it’s a pain in the ass to install. And the computers (shared) reset to default settings every 2 months or so. The dll-files still remain after this so I have to remove them manually before reinstalling. On Linux this would not be a problem
