  • Can’t quantify the feeling of having kids until you have one, but it’s very easy to articulate the perceived drawbacks of said unknown. They bring a life buff like nothing else, speaking a someone who regularly chases altered states of consciousness.

    They provide a large opportunity for some enormous maturation, removal of bitterness/edgelord-iness and to not be so self-centred.

    Your description of kids sounds like me beforehand. Have 2 happy accidents now.

    Lie-ins are still possible if you are actually in a decent relationship by the way. To anybody reading, don’t have kids if you are in a bad one. No kid deserves to grow up around that.


  • Yep AEC is a Windows world. I was tasked with building Revit Addins to leverage within the Design Automation API. Had to run it in virtualbox which was a ball ache. Eventually moved to parsec to desktop stream instead.

    Shame IFC won’t take off. It’s so limited but at least the files are editable in a text editor. CAD and RVT are a database wrapped inside a binary file which is a holy mess if you load them into a DB viewer.

    Need the EU to step in to pull some things away from Autodesk for Linux to have a chance.

    In reality, the inertia is too much and AEC professionals are too entrenched in Windows tools since they do the job just fine.
