I don't think that's true at all. Your middle class percentage is tiny compared to most of Europe, and while you also earn a bit more, that money goes to a much stronger social safety net in most of Europe, too (at least in our more successful countries).

I would also wager that middle class workers are more comfortable here, because of guaranteed 5-7 weeks holiday, 37 hour work weeks (for the vast majority), guaranteed parental leave, and just generally a very unionized job market.

My point is that words are part of languages which change very fluidly, and you could make the same argument for hundreds of other words.

If the word isn't considered bad by anyone hearing it or anyone it describes, nothing is wrong with it. Many meanings are different between your language and mine, even though they sound alike or share some etymology.

I genuinely have multiple friends who use that word about themselves. It isn't negative unless people perceive so.

That must be it

Just a language thing, sorry. In my country this word does not have any negative connotation.

I rest my case

Had to get some metrics out of an old Cisco box that weren't available through SNMP, and the only solution I could come up with was to periodically SSH some commands and regex the results.

That required way too much shell-foo and the SSH daemon would just randomly refuse/drop connections.

If only there was some kind of standard metric API that every other modern software supports out of the box...

Postman is literally the only GUI I use for development, except for a browser I guess. Everything else is in terminals/WSL2 at work

Is this your first attempt at emoji pasta?

Cisco and Juniper CLIs are terrible imo.. Why won't they just use a proper modern set of tools instead of their own proprietary shit that doesn't interface with anything else?

Oh I agree wholeheartedly, I just wanted to advertise Linux. ISO 8601 for life, baby
