So here's the thing: providing support is much easier on the command line.

Also if you think about it, insisting that people who provide support or documentation use the system the same way you want to use it so they can show you how to use it is pretty weird.

Hold on there: did you say you're a software developer? Can you do us all a favour and put GUI-only on your CV?

For CLI programs I agree, but I've come across GUI programs for which the official installation instructions were CLI only (like Android Studio).

I'm not GUI-only, I just strongly prefer it. My CV does contain me having years of experience developing GUI programs.

OK, again, as a hiring manager I would really appreciate you stating your preference for GUI-based computing on there. It will save both of us a lot of time.

It's a preference, and I may complain about it on social media, but I know things are how they are and I'm not so hung up on it as to let it affect my work.

Worst case I would take a few minutes between tasks to quickly whip up a GUI helper, but I think that in 10 years I only did it 2 or 3 times.

So you're saying that you don't want to put it on your CV?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think it's relevant, I can use CLI and terminal just fine and if it's required to do my job then so be it.

I think it's absolutely relevant. You've inspired a new interview question.

don't use terminal, you don't need it.

Uh-uh..
