- I do use my console on a daily basis (fish bash)
- I am a programmer (at least that's part of what I do)
- My blog is 50% about programming
Still - I don't see any reason why I would want to spend even a minute longer on the layout or some backend processes.
And I even less understand why anybody using a blog would want to or even need to use a terminal for that purpose ...
- krapp 11y agoWhen programmers see a terminal, they tend to see it in terms of the freedom and flexibility it provides. To everyone else, it looks broken, primitive and weird. But most modern frameworks and CMS platforms seem to take for granted that everyone moved on from FTP to git ages ago, which isn't the case.
- dr_hercules 11y agoWhere precisely within the workflow of blogging do you think the kind of programmer you describe would appreciate using a terminal?
- krapp 11y agoI wasn't talking about blogging specifically, but in general terms, having to use one for updating and deploying. I could possibly imagine someone writing blog posts in markdown or plaintext and pushing them somewhere, but that would be the edgiest of edge cases, and even then a native app or web form would be more intuitive.
- dr_hercules 11y agoand that's why your suggestion of missing shell involvement is not that much of a great point in this context of Wordpress
- mod 11y agoI do all my deployments for all of my applications in a shell. If I were actively writing a blog, it would be administered in the shell as well. Surely the point was that the shell is unimportant for the vast majority of users, despite some HN missing its power.
