It was Alpha Phoenix

I feel like you’d like this guy’s routine! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c1wkx1V1qHY

Knew that he wouldn’t persevere with it - very forward-thinking!

t.f.w. “npm install somePackage” adds hundreds of names to your supplier list, some of whom aren’t even adults let alone companies, and the policy says that each new supplier needs to go through a thorough vetting process.

“Now we just need you to calculate equivalent resistance between the points a “knight’s move” apart on an infinite grid of 1Ω resistors…”

And the weights are like a bigger version of the weight-hangers from science classes.

Project managers // ER doctors: “Looking at a room full of people coding”

Wikipedia can also be useful to find software - e.g.:

• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_vector_graphics_editors
• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_integrated_development_environments
• https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_audio_player_software

or look at the Wikipedia page for whatever you want to replace and see if it’s in a category such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Audio_editing_software_for_Linux

You can even do this with things that aren’t software, e.g. Homebase -> UK home improvement stores -> Screwfix.
