<p>FWIW, I think it's a blind spot to think of power users as "Arch Linux people" using "developer tooling".<p>My wife is a UX Design consultant and she had an engagement where a bunch of state government accountants were bemoaning how a redesigned procurement platform took away all their keyboard shortcuts.</p>

<p>A University education is priced as though as it has near-term ROI. The government has subsidized it on the basis that it's opening an investment with strong near-term ROI to its citizens.<p>I don't think you can claim that this ROI is not its purpose.</p>

<p>Yeah, Instagram is by far the most reliable communications channel from my kid's school, believe it or not. Like, there are mailing lists and portals you can log into, but the IT aspect of actually getting access for even one parent, let alone both, is such a fucking slog for everyone involved (and who knows what bullshit the school has to deal with from their side) that we get info through our WhatsApp group chat from the parents who have Instagram.</p>

<p>Did you try Excedrin? It has some caffeine in it.<p>It does seem to be especially helpful relative to just Tylenol for me as a migraine sufferer. Specifically for helping to disperse the aura.</p>

<p>Yeah, the real problem with Red Bull is that it's caffeine-spiked Gatorade. So you're drinking to satisfy cravings but also just because you're thirsty.</p>

<p>As a coffee drinker the "bizarrely addictive" comment does not resonate with me at all.<p>I don't really have trouble keeping myself to, like, 1.2 coffees a day. I can't imagine drinking 6-7 coffees in a day to get to 800 mg caffeine.<p>Unless you add ice or sweetener it's bitter and hot, so it's a lot harder to slide down the slippery slope of just drinking it whenever you're thirsty and simultaneously getting addicted to the caffeine and the sugar. To say nothing of whatever else is in the energy drinks.<p>Although I guess plenty of people who drive a lot do this with the sugary Starbucks drinks in the giant mugs.</p>
