Reading this story I just don’t understand why the main character doesn’t just take a screwdriver to his annoyingly chatty office-chair and download a normal non-broken compiler.
One of the problems of being a new CS student is being at the mercy of your profs/TA knowledge of which tools/etc exist. Only later with more experience can they go ‘wow, I wonder why they made us use this weird programming language with bad tools while so much better stuff exists’, the answer is that the former was developed inhouse and was the pride of some of the departments. Not that im speaking of experience.
