the electrician thought i should do a YouTube channel about Linux and RPi and stuff. to him, being fluent in this stuff is a rare skill. he kind of sat there with his mouth agape the entire time because i was typing all these Linux commands rapidly, from memory. he was also surprised when a desktop environment came up on the RPi. he hadn't quite realised that it's just a little computer. he seems intelligent enough and says he's been playing with Arduino. but it's just that he probably wasn't exposed to all this stuff at an early age like i was. i don't think my skills are so rare. lots of people in the IT industry know how to do this stuff.
