Finally worked up the nerve to quit my job. Time to move on to bigger and better things.

My work gave me three laptops because not one of them can access all the resources I need. So I have to balance my workflow around these three machines.

Today's Daily Dev Exercise: practice your patience waiting for clients to email you back.

I realised, that Git now has the same problem as Windows:

There are, especially for smaller projects, few reasons to actually use Git instead any other VCS.

Look at the landscape of free repo hosting.
There are hundreds, if not thousands of free Git hosters.
A handful of free Mercurial hosters,
Launchpad for Bazaar and I didn't even find a free SVN hoster.

Everyone uses Git, because there are Services for it, and there are Services for it, because everyone uses it.

I'm a full stack web dev (LAMP, MEVN), not a sys admin. Besides complete control of my os, are there any benefits to a Linux-based os like arch or ubuntu? I've played around and set up both in VMs, but I'm struggling to find a benefit that justifies the setup commitment.

The ability to generate to generate all of my data transfer objects/, data persistence objects/entity, and unit tests for those.
