I just spent several hours on a Friday night decluttering my computer. And not fun decluttering like moving pictures around and deleting old downloads. No, this was fixing permissions, removing MacPorts, installing Homebrew, tidying my dotfiles. Hard core nerding. And I feel great. After the hundredth permissions issue in the middle of mundane tasks, it’s tempting to flatten a machine just to end the pain. But now it is fun to install things! When things break, it’s because I wrote crummy code, not because the binary I’m trying to run is in a directory that is too high up my search path.
Point is, simple is good. Working is good.
MacPorts, I’m looking at you. RVM couldn’t do its thing because of /opt/bin getting up in my business. We’re through.
