Yeah, I think I conflated a git specific question from the GP and a more general CLI question, my bad. The argument can be made the interfacing with git is bad whether with mouse or with keyboard. My git secret weapon is to ask myself how d

Yes, I think we agree that abstraction is great (with or without "scair" quotes.) My point is that CLIs are valued as tools of explication, repeatable explication. I have actually used Window since 3.1. I cherry picked a particula

I bet farmers use waaay more algebra than I do as a fullstack web programmer. I love it I just don't use it. On the other hand farmers are thinking about slopes all day, every day: irrigation rates; fuel, fertilizer, seed rates; growth

Is intellectual surprise caused by anything other than bias? I noticed this when I started rereading the dissent with a s/Oracle/Sun Microsystems/g. I felt a bit more swayed when I started to recollect all my fond Sun memorie
