Can't you just delete /usr/bin/git and symlink /usr/local/bin/git to it?

So obviously it's impossible to write a linux app in anything pure but C because the kernel is written in C. That makes no sense.

Yes because scalpers buy as many tickets at one time as they can, lowering your chances of getting tickets even if you are up at 5am trying to buy them. “Brokers snatch up at least 50%, if not more, of these tickets,” says Josh Baron from: https://www.buzzfeed.com/perpetua/6-reasons-why-its-so-hard-...

Scalpers provide this value from buying up many more tickets than an individual would, and individuals who cannot go will still sell their tickets, which is usually for a more reasonable price since they want to get rid of them.

Although I usually hate non transferable tickets this would definitely solve the scalping problem. I'd much rather this than have people throw their money at middlemen who add no additional value.

I know code camps are usually web focused, but I'm really surprised about the lack of any lower level, desktop, or non web back end options for "which roll are you most interested in". Coming from a CS background I was also surprised that more people were interested in front end web development than back end web development, because most of the people I interact with hate front end web development with a passion.

This reminds me of a Planet Money episode (a great podcast). http://www.npr.org/sections/money/2015/07/29/427467598/episo... . In it, they talk about people not wanting to ride elevators not controlled by a human operator, and how companies got people to ride them. In the same way as elevators, people will eventually adapt to self driving cars even if the industry needs something like a manual mode for emergencies or a big red button.
