Why can't I write code inside my browser?
If the author has “been playing with the web and code for years” and is still “wtf” on &#x2F;usr&#x2F;local&#x2F;bin in $PATH it shows a lack of discipline and structure in their learning.<p>I see this in many in many of my apprentices - the desire for instant gratification and the lack of experience means they refuse to do anything that doesn’t immediately proceed them closer to their goal.<p>Here’s the thing with programming - you can’t run before you can walk.<p>Go read “Learn python the hard way”, do 1 lesson a day<p>Go do Linuxjourney - do 1 lesson a day<p>By lesson 8 you’ll know about &#x2F;usr&#x2F;local&#x2F;bin and path, and packages, that’ll fix all of your gripes about not being able to install ruby, pip and node too.<p>And all of that is solved only after 8 days of disciplined learning. Sure it’s not immediately towards your goal but you need the lower level skills and knowledge first. And it’s only 8 days!<p>Stop trying to assemble a fully functional car with no understanding of the fundamentals and then getting frustrated that car assembly is difficult. Go and learn some electrical engineering, go and learn some metalworking, go and learn some mechanical engineering, then you may come back and attempt to assemble a car. You might fail the second time too, but each time you’ll get further.<p>Stop seeking that immediate gratification, the path to success is NEVER a straight line
