Car talk: AMA answers (part 2)

[@seebaastian]

what a lucky guys are your mentorees! (Is mentoree a real word?) My dad used to say that experience and shit are two things you can't pick with a naked hand. You must get acomplished and try by yourself before to be able to pick the things mentioned above. Thanks for being so open and share your thougths with us. Long life to Serenity and your persona!

[@DavidPalmer_blinder]

nothing of any value to add just to say i really enjoy the candidness of your responses and you just make so much sense! i've been in the industry now for more than 20 years, still try to find ways to make it fun and your channel and content helps with that!

I don't understand most of your videos, cause I find it extremely complex, but you have motivated me to read about operating systems and system architecture, and made me feel so excited about the entire subject although I'm not pursing CS in my Uni. I love all your car talks, the stuff you say is so relatable, I hope you never stop making these videos. No pressure at all. Have a great day!

As for a 'hobby OS revolution', I think the most likely component of Serenity to influence the wider open source world could be libGUI and WindowServer. Someone has already got Serenity's window system to run on top of OpenBSD. In a few years when its got better support for fonts etc, libGUI could well be mature enough to replace FLTK and maybe GTK for many use cases? Maybe WindowServer will become what Wayland should've been! As for plan9, I remember someone talking about adding support for the plan9 fs to Serenity to make filesystem passthrough easy under qemu but I'm not sure what happened with that.

Love your videos. Very inspiring!

17:16 I'm sure we talked about this last year during my OS course, but it's taught terribly. The most we actually got out of that course was writing `malloc()`, and even then most of the kids that took pure CS had no idea what they were doing. System stuff is definitely considered a "black art" these days.

I don't know how far you are in your strength training journey but I would thoroughly recommend Starting Strength in case you haven't heard of it before.

[@TimMorgan]

Thanks for answering my questions!

Have you ever seriously pursued other fields in CS? (graphics, scientific computing, audio dev, backend, etc) If not, why do you think you gravitated towards the sort of projects you work on now? (as far as this sort of question is answerable haha) Great AMA btw! :D

[@yeppiidev]

Again, rainy day, night time, on car answering people with their questions.
