I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
It's kill without the -9. I think that when people give that as a solution, it's like when people put sudo in front of every command in their examples, or when people recommend something like chmod -R 777 as a solution to a permissions problem.

Just a coder and a dad. I love my family and I love to code!!!! started coding at 11, so I have 25 years under my belt. Still love learning about it every day. Black lives matter!

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I have a better solution!
