I'm not a software engineer, nor a comp sci grad, nor a professional coder. I've ranted on HN about bad documentation in programming before (Lisp being a notable target of my ire recently), and I'm by no means an expert. But when you have someone who by his own admission can't install node.js, pip, or ruby and yet claims

>Because I love building things using code.

I mean, someone who "builds things using code" should be able to install ruby. I've never even attempted to use ruby, don't even know what its syntax looks like, but I guarantee you it can be installed by something akin to

    $ apt install ruby

I can't even fathom how a person who has allegedly built things with code can "try and fail" to accomplish this.
