Quality vs Quantity

The perfectionist in me feels like I should be a powerhouse and every post needs to be a super in depth blog post with an entire study.

The true to the cause part of me feels like I should post "every day".

Just skip them and go to the juicy posts.

I will try to post something every day even if it's a small 100 word post.
It will help me build up consistency.

Peace out!

Why is this important? This is how we can create an account for users to access Linux servers. If you have a new employee at your company or student who enters the university, they'll need access to the shared drive, a private drive for themselves etc. Groups Groups keep users i
