I find organizing and saving files to disk is a great way to save things I won't remember. Maybe you could try that?

This is not a helpful take for you. The same method works fine for me over the last decade. Taking notes helps, having some helper scripts helps. If one’s invested in a technology, one finds a way to remember.

You just described how the script is less convenient to meet the preferences of the commenter you replied to.

A debian package relieves them of the overhead you describe by having a few people do the work for anyone else that uses the package.

Debian packages are often old. Hence people found a way around.

Well… no. The person I reply to doesn’t say anything about preferences. They want to know how to update the software, the script is the best reference.

What about AUR or Fedora packages? ;D

No clue man. Don’t use any of it.

I am glad to hear you have room in your life to tend to idiosyncracies like this.

It’s part of the job. That’s one of the things I’m paid for.

Paid to screw around with your editor installation? Or paid to edit code.

You know nothing about what I do. Keep editing code. You just grind on an infrastructure brought to you on a silver plate? Like an editor is the only thing we have fuck around with.

That script for the editor is code, too…

I do it all brother. Infrastructure is the fun/easy part.
