Case insensitive filesystems

I want to be clear here, why would a file system be case insensitive? Imagine this: you use Windows®, MacOS, or whatever, you have a file named hello.txt and you try to create another one with the name Hello.txt. Guess what? THOSE ARE IDENTICAL. Well I get the idea that some people don’t care enough of the filename case. But as a developer this is counter intuitive. I’m glad I move to a “developer friendly” environment such as Linux1, whereas its filesystem, name; btrfs, ext4, etc are case sensitive by default.

Logical Optimism

I always think that the impossible is possible if I think about it again. For instance, I’m very optimistic that I can pass my finals without studying prior to them. What makes me optimistic is that the fact that I know the fundamentals is enough to satisfy my beliefs. I always wonder why I would learn things If the things are already can be easily related to one another.

I always think optimism is a delusional thing. But everyone that I observe always does it like that1.
