After class, Barbie meets with Steven and Brian in the library. "Hi, guys," says Barbie. I read your identification strategy, I can't believe you're just doing TWFE and none of the new DiD estimators! Have you been living under a rock?

Barbie tries to send her patches upstream, but they insist on a pull-request workflow. "Why!" cries Barbie. "Gerrit is so much better!" Skipper sighs. "Not this again..." "Pull requests are so inefficient!" "Barbie, nobody cares." "Do they even want my patches? Because that's how you don't get my patches!" "Have some orange juice." "I just feel like we'll never get to anything approximating human civilization, when I see this kind of thing, you know?" "You just gotta except it. People like that octopus cat thing." "Don't get me started on the centralization of a service that was supposed to be inherently decentralized! Why even use git, if you're going to treat it like subversion anyway!" "Barbie, you can't change it, drink some orange juice and go chill in the dreamhouse." "I'm *Barbie*! You can't expect me to accept the ugliness of this world!" "That's it, no orange juice for you."

"It will go faster if Brian and I help," offers Steven. "We installed antivirus software on the library computers last week. We'll have to add an exception for your CD-ROM." "Will you now?" Barbie laughed. She began furiously typing on the keyboard. Steven and Brian looked on in awe as Barbie authored a zero-day privilege escalation, deleted the antivirus software and inserted her CD-ROM. "Empire - 319 modules loaded", the screen read. Barbie chuckled. "Sounds like I don't need either of you".

Other than porting architectures and Rustifying the usual C headers from the manufacturer, Rust has been an absolute breath of fresh air when working on reliable, memory constrained systems. I keep running to the disassembler to make sure that my high level code don't force the compiler to do something stupid but have yet to find anything that required I scale back my abstractions back to C levels.
Other than porting architectu…
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

After standup, Barbie meets with Steven and Brian. "Hi, guys," says Barbie. "It'll just be a few more minutes before I'm finished reviewing your PRs. I'm requesting some changes since the ClosetInventoryService is tightly coupled to the DreamHouseRepository but this can easily be fixed with dependency injection!"

Barbie makes it to computer class just before the bell rings. As soon as class begins, Barbie raises her hand. "Yes, Barbie?" asks Dr. Smith, the professor. "I tried to automatically prove the Riemann hypothesis last night," says Barbie, "but my tool couldn't do it. I was thinking maybe research just isn't for me?" Dr. Smith laughed. "Barbie, you're doing just great. Why don't you start with a theorem for which there already exists a paper proof?"
