I love the argument about c having type safety with the little side-swipe at rust. "AcTuAlLy C does have type safety! You just have to jump through the following 50 hoops to get it!". I'm an outsider to both C and Rust but it's still funny.

It's Facebook, they'll take it and not even bother to beg forgiveness later.

Genuine question, what good things? Part of the problem of only getting news from podcasts and social media is that I very loudly get all the bad things and maybe the good things are being drowned out.

Right, but my point is that that wasn't explained in the post, and it's not the only thing in the article that is stated as "you should do this thing" without telling the reader why.

Only heard a couple people talk about it online (that I trust to be reasonable) and they basically said it was fine but didn't blow them away. And that's fine but it makes for boring "cOnTeNt".

I wouldn't call this "beginner" but some useful stuff nonetheless. Some of the points could use some justification or a reason to do it, eg using 127.1 over 127.0.0.1.

Who is this for? Anyone who wants a "pre-build" isn't going to be too impressed with the price and desktop PCs are already very repairable compared to laptops. Why would I buy this when it doesn't even have replaceable RAM?

Framework laptops work because laptops are generally terrible for repairability, why bother adding a desktop line that is less repairable (albeit only slightly) than standard desktops?

I'm all for supporting low-to-middle incomes but it's still a huge investment for those not in (or just outside) that bracket. I can't spend 10k now to see the return in 20 years, assuming the rates stay decent. It's not practical.
