@japchap This is especially evident when you read their documentation.

@matigo They can give us dark mode and Intelllisense that actually functions more often than not but the path length thing persists.
I'm running into that right now. Pretty much having to do what your asshole programmer did and move it to another drive/partition. I do NOT want to restructure the entire tree because it's going to be for Mac and Linux too.
I'm also not going to resort to 8+3 naming convention nonsense to make them fit, either. I left that crap behind years ago and I am not going back.
@matigo It's cute how some of the developer experience is still in Windows 2000 land while others are actually damned near bleeding edge.
@matigo I don't know why I had it in my head that code blocks weren't working. You even SAID they were explicitly.
@matigo It did have one then Linux said lp1 on fire and that was that.

@matigo Sounds about right. The server spent a brief amount of time running RHEL4. When RHEL5 was released we redid it since I was in the area.
They've needed to update that hardware for a long, long time.
@matigo But you won't know how much it sucks until data entry clerks start hammering on it and plugging it 45.00 printers they got from Walmart.

@matigo
If my experiences with doing a Linux distro from scratch and supporting it for a few hundred customers for a few years is any indication…
Stick to pipe dream number 2.

@matigo No. Corky from Pelham, AL. The girl who's posting issues lead me to discovering weirdness on their ancient RHEL5 server.
No messages logged anywhere. SMART reported no errors. But, there was weirdness so we put a bullet in it's head.
The drives in the RAID array, according to SMART, had power on uptimes of 92,000+ hours.
It was time….years ago
