How so?
Humans are animals. “Non-human animals” is the most direct and accurate way to specify the set of all animals that aren’t humans.
What about it do you consider strange?

Is a CI/CD pipeline not a build system?
(this isn’t a “gotcha”, I genuinely may have misunderstood the post)
Counterpoint: watching little green checkmarks appear when my PR passes a pipeline step gives me dopamine
All the cool kids use NixOS now 😎
(note: this ended up being long, but I promise it’s worth it to read)
Learning to use Linux is as easy (if not easier) than when you learned to use Windows, and you probably did that when you were younger, even less experienced with technology, and didn’t have the benefit of comprehensive online help resources.
To start, the main thing to know is that unlike Windows or MacOS, the Operating System “kernel” (the bit that actually handles the core tasks of an OS which allows software to run on your hardware which you don’t ever need to understand) does not have many of the usability features you associate with Windows or MacOS such as the Desktop Environment, default programs, apps store, etc.
Instead, Linux comes in different **“distributions” (“distros”)**which facilitate all these things. So it’s more accurate to think of a Linux distro as analogous to “Windows” or “MacOS” rather than just Linux.
The awesome thing about this is that while they’re all similar enough that almost anything you learn will be applicable to all of them, the variety of options means you can find one that works well for you. So when it comes time to try Linux, here’s what to do
Then, once it’s installed, any time you want to learn how to do a thing on it that isn’t intuitive to you, try the following in order until you get useful results:
Realistically, #1 & #2 should solve all your problems unless you’re doing complicated stuff, but #3 will almost always solve the rest.
Also, welcome to the club! You won’t wanna go back, trust me :)

It matters if you develop compilers 🤷,
Otherwise? Readability trumps the minute performance gain almost every time (and that’s assuming your compiler won’t automatically do branchless substitutions for performance reasons anyway which it probably will)
It’s still good that they monitor and investigate stuff like this ahead of time. NASA, historically, has allowed for a ton of really cool practical advanced in technology to occur because of research they do on stuff like this, and I think it’s entirely worth it to work on this kind of stuff even if we never have to actually shoot it down.
