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”

It’s okay to have a preference. In my. 20+ years with Linux, I’ve coded with and for it, did low level embedded development with it, used it at home for school and entertainment, used for amateur photography, even managed a small server for a startup.
I still would rather use a GUI, because I have not specialized in most of the tasks. It’s less powerful, but it’s just more intuitive. It’s less portable between DEs, but it’s easier. And if your only doing that once in a blue moon, it’s more than enough.
It’s absolutely fine to prefer a GUI. At a professional level it is not fine to not understand what is happening beneath the hood.
Full stop.
If you don’t know how to use TCP dump, I don’t want you using wireshark on my dime.
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.
So you write out all your commands as machine code I assume? wait no, obviously you set the transistor state manually with an electron gun?
You need people who can read and debug machine code and dig through hex and binary in cybersecurity.
I use ghidra and IDA pro literally every week. And if you don’t know how to use hexdump, you shouldnt be using those tools in the job.
Binary exploitation is common.
So no, but you literally should be able to read machine code, and parse hex/binary in my field.
100%.
There’s no relationship between UI and vibe coding.
Full stop
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.
You come across as somebody that would be hell to work for.
Full stop.
🤷 my team has fun. Sucks to suck I guess.
“My team doesn’t feel comfortable being open with me out of fear of retaliation”
People don’t have fun at work dummy, catch a hint.
