I am such a poser here on mastodon. I am on the "technology" instance, and

* I can't write a single line of code.
* I can't install #Arch Linux (tried and failed).
* I use #Manjaro, because I can't use Arch.
* I pretend to like sci-fi, but I haven't read, watched, or played anything sci-fi related for years.

* I am tired of #tech and #Linux sometimes, but this is the only thing I know.
* I really want to spend a week/month not touching any computer.

@evenorbert the best programmers I've know prefer to spend the majority of their time away from computers.
I found this bizarre when I was young, but now I'm the same way.
Most of my programming happens in my head, preferably somewhere outside, and I only use a computer for data entry and debugging.
