Our team changed to Linux about 3 years ago already and I can see some of them struggling to insert some commands when I'm talking to them.

How the fuck do you struggle to `cd` into a fucking directory?

Ok,ok... I've linuxing full time for 8 years already, I understand I've been through this... But come on! If some one said to me on day ONE "dude, you can cd /full/path/of/fucking/whatever" or " ~/ means home" I would be doing it from day one.

Probably I'm overreacting but wtf dudes? 3 years... Step up your game.

    I try to explain it by saying "cd" is like double clicking a folder to enter it, not sure why people find it so hard to make the jump from "folder" to "directory"

    were there real reasons to switch or was it just to see what would have happened? 😂

    I spoke to a dev last week who was complaining about how long it takes to delete projects containing node_modules on Windows. I suggested rimraf.

    "But...that means I'd have to learn the command line."

    Bless... Maybe this career isn't for him.

    @woodworks

    Or you could just say : cd = change directory

    Careful @hell , someone that has been a fulltime linuxer since 2001 would probably laugh about how you use Linux too

    I have this bad habit of typing cd and then followed by ls -altr in each directory. I just liked the sound of my clicky mechanical keyboard haha

    Coworkers that write fucking code but can't enter a bloody command.. I'd tell them to rm -rf /dev/* at once out of sheer frustration -.-'

    3 years at that..! In 3 years I've learned how to build my own fsck'n distributions from source including everything libc, kernel, init and shit like that! A FUCKING CD?! Not an overreaction at all. Completely justified.

    I start to twitch when I watch people changing one director level at at a time. Itching it is worse when they don't even do a listing so clearly know the full path. Maybe even know about tab completion but choose to type.it manually 😰

    @TafT yep, just like that...
    Or go:

    cd ..
    cd ..
    cd /full/furking/path
