there is no reason to uppercase it. they often happen to be empty, too, because tools create them as default files for developers to fill.

• choose: documentation or configuration file
• are more difficult to: merge, check for options, change options
• are having the manual in the config file
• i want to see what i have set, or add what i want to add, and do not want to search through thousands of lines about different settings that possibly exist
• on config file updates by package managers, there is no easy diff possible if a smaller custom file was used

• server header variables for cgi in uppercase, fe "REQUEST_URI"
• http headers always capitalised, fe "X-Accel-Redirect", "Content-Type"
• the official http header "HTTP referer" is a misspelling
• religiously uppercasing sql keywords. for example "SELECT AS FROM WHERE ORDER LIMIT"

when a window is open and another one pops up and steals the window focus. if currently typing the typing now continues in the pop-up window

happens when a tab-completion leads to no results, or you reach the beginning or end of a line: beep, beepbeep, beepbeeepbeepbepbeep. is or used to be the default on most linux distributions

• each distribution and programming language with its own package manager
• most of them do not support the installation of different versions of programs, leading to usage of things like docker and vagrant

they are far from intuitive. you would put a user in front of something he will not be able to use or even exit

• random use of newlines
• separating each code line by at least two newlines
• no spaces around infix operators
• spaces around both sides of brackets
• 8 spaces indent

• saving config files directly in /home/username instead of /home/username/.config
• the file name that the "last" utility uses: wtmp
• the file name /etc/profile. should be named /etc/login or similar
• .bashrc, .bash_profile, .profile, /etc/bash.bashrc, /etc/bash.bashrc.local, /etc/profile chaos

the most common format for data on compact discs. all filenames are restricted to contain only uppercase letters, numbers and underscore. the length of filenames is limited to 31 characters, directory nesting is limited to 8 levels and complete pathnames are limited to 255 characters. no files greater than 4G

• misconfiguration of autotools is probably the most common cause of build failures in the free software domain. build failures suck
• project root directories are littered with like 20 autoconf files. which can not be easily kept in a sub-directory
• the output is overly verbose
• no program that uses autotools can call itself lightweight
• numerous autoconf files and dependencies are often used for simple copy installation procedures
• builds fail for documentation generation, unmaintained tests or convenience preparation
• i suppose it is one of the top causes that make old software unusable

• wsdl neither makes it easier to make requests to webservices, nor to design the schema
• build the xml without a specialised application? good luck
• attributes, content, schemas, doctypes, named opening and closing tags, xsd

• dist/distrib instead of something like "compiled"
• develop/devel instead of dev or development
• bin instead of "executables", "exe", "scripts" or similar

• modifies upstream packages. renames binaries, restructures directories, etc
• large welcome banner on each login
• mailcheck on login. "no mail"
• at least three different applications with different semantics for managing packages. dpkg, apt, apt-get, apt-cache
• apt-get is way too verbose, has many repositories even for the most basic core packages
• dpkg packages are way more complicated than pacman packages
• any ubuntu version will stop getting new packages after 1-3 years. then to get the new version of a browser for example, time consuming manual builds or a comprehensive system upgrade is necessary that may break things
• delays on ssh login and logout
• .bashrc and .profile files full with needless defaults
• nano is configured with syntax highlighting by default. sometimes unreadable on dark displays
• makes a network request and searches for programs in repository each time a command can not be found
• always autostart enables and starts all new services on package install unasked
• /etc/apache2 instead of /etc/httpd
• httpd.conf is an empty file
• requires to know about, find and install separate -dev packages for library headers
• /var/www/htdocs, /var/www instead of /srv/http
• "no permission to save" because sudo was not used, then loosing all editing

root@server:/etc/cron.d# cat .placeholder
# DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE
# This file is a simple placeholder to keep dpkg from removing this directory

• [1, 5, 20, 10].sort() // [1, 10, 20, 5]
• [10, 10, 10].map(parseInt); // [10, nan, 2]
• number printed as 4.0. fix? parseFloat(4.0) or 4.0|0 because bit operations implicitly convert to non-float

• caar, cadr, cdar, cddr, caaar, caadr, cadar, cdaar, caddr, cdadr, cddar, cdddr, caaaar, caaadr, caadar, cadaar, cdaaar, cddaar, cdadar, cdaadr, cadadr, caaddr, caddar, cadddr, cdaddr, cddadr, cdddar, cddddr
• using ;; and ;;; for scheme comments
• .sls and .ss filename suffixes instead of just .scm

how about a cron that:

• shows an example for the configuration file format in the manpage
• does not install cron.* preset directories in /etc
• does not install default jobs
• does not want users to use vim
• does not necessarily support user crontabs
• uses only /etc for configuration

keybinding chaos. modes usually come with their own keybindings, overwriting yours

some man pages read like this: "massage the porcelainish onion peeling parameter for downstream commands"

• this file is currently in use
• right-click sometimes takes a long time to show the context menu
• focus stealing, other windows pop up while you are typing
• lots of settings necessary to reduce the spying from microsoft
• file selection dialog and my computer doesnt show links to get to the desktop
