    I’ve worked in IT my whole career and if someone wants me yo install Linux on their machine, or has questions about bash scripting, I’m dropping whatever I’m doing to help them.

    How else are my friends and family supposed to teach each other it nobody teaches them? Not everyone was as lucky as I was to be encouraged to pursue tech, that doesn’t mean they don’t deserve the same privacy and options that I benefit from.

      I’m down helping once and I often will point people in the right direction

      The problem is that help isn’t needed once. It can turn into a full time job very quickly if you don’t draw the line.
