Reboot like it’s the 90th

In the finishing decade of the past century it was a common saying among Windows Sysadmins that average power users reboot at least four to five times per day.

Having access to a parallel universe made from various Unix and VMS systems that time it had always left me a bit baffled. Issuing a reboot command there would ruin your uptime record and make you look like a bad admin in front of your colleagues.

However, that’s the past since I left the Windows Universe for good after a short period of reorientation in the early 2000th and am quite happy to see even numbers like this on my notebook:

hinnerk@Hinnerk sail4oxygen % uptime
10:19  up 60 days, 1 min, 5 users, 
load averages: 7.32 10.87 9.81

But I started working on a few projects in Dotnet Maui and that feels quite often like falling down the evolution ladder: Quite amusing how many times Microsoft makes irritating and irrational compiler issues just vanish by simply choosing to close and reopen Visual Studio.
