Today I learnt you can estimate the age of a machine by looking at SMART data!
$ smartctl -a /dev/sda
9 Power_On_Hours Old_age 9335 (92 144 0)
12 Power_Cycle_Count Old_age 3900
I bought my ThinkPad second hand and it's had an amazing number of boots.

When there's an obvious feature gap in an ecosystem and everyone is waiting for someone else to write it.
I see this most frequently with OSS toolchains. Basic functionality in new programming languages is another common scenario.

I'm debating whether `from foo import *` is a bad feature for my toy programming language.
Forcing `import foo as f` and later `f::bar()` is so much more amenable to local static analysis. You also don't get issues with name clashes.
It's certainly convenient though.
