Typing Names
As recently observed at work:
(16:19:06) taras: for centuries, my clan has insisted on only naming their children with names that can be typed exclusively with the left hand, b/c we knew that one day we might be working with a left-hand-typing-only system administrator
For those who have never seen me type, let me tell you that the above is an apt description of yours truly.
(16:35:04) sara: dman: note that ‘sara’ can also be typed only w/ your left hand
(16:35:22) ***sara sucks up to the sysadmin
It’s good to be root.

Like, what does “it’s good to be root” mean, huh?

The “superuser” or “all powerful administrative account” on a Unix system is traditionally called root.
“To have root” is to have access to the most powerful account on a Unix system.
This could be read as a reference Brooks’ “it’s good to be the King.”
