Dude saying just melting some ore is enought and then you basicly have a steam engine is so wild. Do you have any experience in metal working? How would you create the round parts like the piston and the bore? What about valves? The greek steam enigne woold have not created significant power for anything usefull. I would bet that most of you in this thread would not be able to build a steam engine from metal if you had acess to a home depot.

Ok just out of curiosity, how do you plan to generate power for your telegraphing? Also how do you plan to get the information out of the circuit on the other end?

What do you mean? Its not the keybord that can decide if the hardware on the mobo is just a ps2 to internal usb adapter or not.

Ahh ok yea i also do some terminal shenanigans most in gdb to fix all the segfaults i make, git stuff and reading tons of compiler and cmake errors. Most time is spent thinking about what i broke and how, instead of typing.

I am a electrical engineering student in my last semester but i have been working at my position since starting uni. So my work is more low level stuff wirh c/c++, embedded linux and some pcb layouting. I dont think that i would ever use vim, sublime or vscode/vscodium is the sweet spot for me.

Ok but what is your job then? I do software development and in no way would it make my work faster if i can type 2 more words a minute because i dont type that much. Most time is used to read sourcecode, chassing references through the codebase and reading api references in the browser. If i have to do more hardware related stuff i would never want to use a keyboard to scroll through datasheets.

And i always thought Real™️ linux users dont need a desktop manager? No wait they need arch with a tiled window manager because it looks cool but actually dont do annything besides configure their install.

Im not a gamedev but a electrical engineering student and i am currently in my one semester project phase in a company where i am programming a 3d visualization for welding robots. First time working with imgui and opengl and the feeling when you wrote your first shader and a 3d model is rendered to the screen is priceless.
