The indoctrination of windows is extreme. Windows is just as hard as linux, harder even with all the layers of obscurity.

And yet… linux is hard, and users decry RTFM as “not growing the userbase”

    I don’t agree with the full stop. Eliminating nuance is rarely good. Most tasks an IT professional will execute will be done several times a month, so memorizing the tar command options might be useful if that’s something they do all the time. But demanding that a person is proficient with the CLI as a way to prove familiarity with how things work under the hood is just fallacious.

    I coded in vim and we built our own makefiles to deploy our code into our proprietary microcontroller. We also used JTAG to connect gdb with the microcontroller, and not even the guy that coded the JTAG interface would be able to write JTAG commands by hand.

      I disagree entirely.

      Abstraction away from what is happening never adds value in the long run.

      Full stop.

      Vibe coders be damned.

          Okay good luck debugging difficult to describe edge cases.

          I’m not gonna continue to argue with you. Suffice to say, I wouldn’t hire you.

          Cheers.

          Lol if you’re in graphic design you’re beyond cooked. Good luck out there.

              lol wat 😂

              Not familiar. Can’t agree or disagree.

              But maybe look into tool assisted gameplay? Because the command line is literally the optimal way to play any game. Ethics be damned. Not saying I support that but like… What is your point here?
