You end up saying something similar to yourself after you read and fail to understand a LKML archive because it's the only available documentation on this specific flag that you may or may not need and if you don't need it why not turn it off. Repeat this many times for much learning (eventually).
It was a great experience but next time I'm building everything not strictly necessary as a module.
“It was a great learning experience” is how I describe working under the worst bosses in my life. Specifically, to people that I can’t be honest with and say how i truly felt.
One of them was just a straight up malignant asshole. The other was chronically absent. She may have had some good reasons for it, but when I had to stop bailing her out because it was getting to 20-30 hours extra entirely without a schedule… and she started lying (and spoofing texts to prove it was my fault…)
Well, suffice it to say “great learning experience” is the polite way of saying “absolute fucking hell”
