today at programming class...

professor: today we will be teaching you about vim and using the terminal and ssh. those who are smart enough to know these may leave the class, but be sure to sign the attendance sheet.

me: *starts packing and stands up and walks up to the front to sign*
me: *turns around*

EVERYBODY WAS LOOKING AT ME. i was the one only who stood up and the professor was also looking at me like "wtf this doesnt happen everyday". and so i walked out of there and im so proud of myself lmfao

Me: *just playing around with Git on my terminal*

Friend: "Man, you're such a geek, typing your git command on the terminal.. I myself can't use git without the GUI at all"

Me: *stares at him in silence*

Me: "Wait... THERE 'S A GUI FOR THAT?"

*true story when I was in college*

Because you can't improve on perfection

So i was playing around with terminal apps in node.js a few weeks ago and made a CLI version of devrant. Images get converted to ascii just for fun. This is about was far as it goes for me though - anyone want to take it over? (The code is shit - this was a midnight proof of concept). Currently there's pretty much just the rant listings, the login works too but I think @dfox would need to approve it's use.

Next script I'm writing is going to be a terminal rant posting tool so I can rant from my server 😉

$ rant -m "fml" -f ~/screenshot.jpg -t "lol"

CLI > GUI

I am new to Linux and still trying to figure out the CLI
Luckily my colleague and good friend helped me out with a list!

What kind of morning filth is this?

Typing 'ls' in the CLI, then realising you're using CMD. *Sigh*

Teacher (while teaching about storage mechanisms): What do you use a CD for?
Me: Umm... Change Directory?

Because CLI is just life...

I find the whatsmydns.net website very useful. Too bad that they don't have an api so that I could use it with the commandline 😥

A few hours of analyzing and programming further I 'reverse engineered' the website and wrote a CLI tool which works perfectly fine!

Even though things like these are simple, they always make me feel like I'm a tiny God of sorts 😊

(friend in a terminal) "Oh fuck I didn't mean to do that!"

Well here's a neat fucking idea how about DON'T ENTER A COMMAND YOU DON'T INTEND TO RUN YOU MOUTH BREATHING WINDOW LICKER

Ever heard of trigger discipline? The idea of don't point a gun at something you don't intend to kill?!

IF YOU DON'T WANT THE DIRECTORY TO GO BYE BYE DON'T POINT A FUCKING RM -RF AT IT AND PRESS ENTER!

Jesus roller blading christ,
Anybody would think this is some new wave genius advice

CLI: A programmer's dream, and a designer's nightmare.

Needed to download all my music from Google music, their download manager is crap (on ubuntu)

Decided to use their API, found a gem that works perfectly. Started downloading it.

Told my GF how I wanted to code something cool but gound someone else did, her response:

So why doesn't google make something ?
Me:They did, but it sucks in linux, and they have their API's which work fine.

And how are normal people supposed to make it work then?
Me: well it works, jut have to install this and run the CLI with.... wait.. am I not normal?

I guess we are not normal in the eyes of some people.

How has coding impacted your life...?

- Using Linux
- Valuing OpenSorce over cracked software
- Using more CLI than GUI programs
- Only playing games that run on Linux or Wine
- Hating Micro$oft
- Utilizing VMs and Servers
- Tinkering with Hardware (RPi, custom PC)
- ...

... Nah not that much. 🤗😅

Nord is really nice

CLI geeks, this is what happens when you are too tired on Fridays

😂 😂

Our AWS Consultant: Do you have the AWS CLI installed?
Me: Brings up the Linux subsystem in Win 10. sudo apt install awscli.
Me thirty seconds later: Yes.

1. Just because it sounds cool doesn't mean it is.
2. Automate all the things. If you can see everything from cli all the better.
3. If it isn't commited and pushed, it doesn't exist or won't after a hard drive burnout
4. Everything on your workstation should be quickly reproduceable or in a git repo.
5. Murphy is a bitch

about one and a half years ago I wrote my first application ^-^
it generates a little christmas tree with lights on the CLI.
and I still feel the same joy as back then when something actually works out :)

I'm a backender, Linuxer (servers + cli included) and security person.

For some projects I do need to write my own frontends and that, in general, IS my worst css experience.

HTML is quite manageable but CSS, except for the basics, is fucking Chinese to me.

So yeah, about every goddamn project that includes ME having to do frontend stuff is/has been the worst HTML/CSS experience.

"Do you want to terminate the batch task? (Y/N)"
"N"
*it terminates*

@angular/cli are you maybe a girl?

My wife: Oh, hacking is so cool. Can you show me?
Me: Sure. So there I needed to upload the php file, while my netcat was sitting here in the terminal waiting for incoming...
My wife: Boring, BORING.
Me: ....

(At least my 5yr son appreciates the terminal more than she: typing 'sl' or watching star wars in ASCII art.)

Friend
- what DE do you use on you Linux? i3m

Me
- tmux

command line FTW

Backend, cause I have no idea how to make stuff look nice, at all, unless it's a CLI

CLI > GUI

When you try install babel-node instead babel-cli and got sweet message from the developer,, 😇

Welcome to javascript kids!

The combination of fun colleagues and trying to learn things (more and more CLI stuff in my case) make my days awesome, also some customer interactions are hilarious, that altogether makes it very much worthwhile!

(although: I'm a Linux engineer, NOT a dev professionally)

> Builds CLI tool to generate app security tokens
> immediately leaks first set of tokens in public commit

I astound myself with own stupidity sometimes.

Should I put "able to save and exit in all cli text editors" in my bio?

It's almost time!

I am almost ready to release new devRant client and the full version of the api wrapper that powers it.
While I finish up a few things, here is a quick explination of what / why the client is:

The devRant client is called:
dr

The reason I made yet another new client is:
I wanted to have a CLI client that could run on a chromebook and I also discovered the cool text editor called ed. I really like the command-based interface of ed, so I made a devRant client in that style!

dr is a simple and (mostly) no BS devrant client built for us cool cli-only people.

(yes, this was written in dr)

More info will come soon!

My own text mmorpg and it's selfmade Chat system! <3

Yeah it's barebones and has some flaws, but its the first project I set an worked through with a very pleasing result ^^

It's a CLI-Style interface with a command and chat mode, multiple rooms, user descriptions etc.

Some day I want to improve it even further, bring much more functionality in the mix, but first I would have to reinforce the base/core of the program ^^

How many of you use GIT from a plugin in the IDE?.
I've never even tried to use it.
I feel that cli is the way to work with git.

I hate webdev. I wish I could find a job as a systems programmer or a devops engineer. I like Perl and I like C, I am not good in either, but it wouldn't take me long if I had a real job to get good in either.

I like writing CLI scripts and command line programs. Why is it not 1995? Someone get me a time machine!

To all udemy instructors that give instructions on configuring a GUI IDE for Linux, Mac and Windows but also give the option and instructions on CLI tool options on respective operating systems.... Thank you... Just... Thank you...

Why do we backend people have to be born handicapped for creating anything that doesn't look like absolute shit.

I'm trying to pick a primary color for my landing page for about three days now and I'm starting to lose my shit.

Can we all just start using fucking CLI apps and be done with the whole design thing.

I don't know the git cli (well, not some of it)
#mostEmbarassingConfessions

Seems to be working :)

Finally D-Booted Ubuntu on my home computer.
Now I'm just waiting for the frantic texts from my wife during the work week telling me "I hate this new system, get it off our computer."
WOMAN!
You must learn CLI. It is the only way to inner peace.

Completed Angular 2 course on codeschool, really liked improvements and simplicity of Angular over Angularjs. Decided to do quick start guide in official website. Oh my f**king god... I need to setup webpack, typescript linter, typings, polyfills etc angular2-cli is no better, crawling with errors... why... why can't one just start a project and work instead spending loads of timing configuring all of that... AND WHY WE CANT HAVE PROPER SUPPORT FOR LATEST FEATURES...

I don't even know what I am ranting about... I just wish to spend more time creating things than configuring for ages development environment.

I still don't understand the effect devRant has had on me...

When I first joined I was quite happy just being my old 2D game developer self but now all I want to do is build CLI tools, interpreters, root through source code I don't understand and not shut up about arch... Not sure of I'm down the right track or not now

After working day and nights on CLI, whenever I chat with someone I mistakenly type "clear" to delete the messages.
Demn

Coworker:" ...so this openflow switch has a really great CLI tool that lets you configure all sorts of settings programatically such as..."

Boss: "I don't like CLI tools, they're too hard to use and can be unreliable. Before you do your task, can you spend a couple of weeks writing a REST API and a web interface to the network switch so you don't have to rely on CLI commands? I think that will be much better and safer."

Coworker: "Well, will you ever have to use it? I think I'll be okay with just the CLI, I actually prefer it..."

Boss: "No, the CLI is unsafe, please just write a REST API and get back to me in a couple of weeks."

Me: *dies inside*

The program they're using is closed-source. Any REST API will have to just make calls in a subprocess shell to the CLI binary.

There were just so many things wrong with the scenario I facepalmed my way out of the conference room.

I went to this conference to see what’s new in MSSQL 2019, kubernetes container on azure and see what Microsoft has done to embrace open source community.

Speaker is from Microsoft, brings a Mac to the conference which I’m kool wit it,
but shortly after he started, Word crash at launch, PowerPoint freezes when switch between pages, azure cli can’t login properly.
And he goes ”this is awkward. “

After developing a chrome extension, cli tool and jsRant I think I should stop developing on devRant.

When @dfox changes the api I am going to have quite a bit of tasks on my hands :p

> tries to run `login` command on CLI tool I want to use.
> gets error "no configuration found, run `login`"...

because... you know... it's not like I am trying to do that...

I would really like to have a devrant client for linux (CLI ONLY).

So I can cron-rant

Even If you give me an OS with great and fast GUI, I would still prefer better CLI (Command Line Interface)

I love making my own tools...

So I'm working on an CLI right now that fetches data from a website and downloads other stuff based on that data etc bla bla. And since its async it can fully taste my whole internet speed (130Mb/s).

So everything's good and I started working on a new feature. I started the app and it worked... For 3 minutes. After that it just stopped. It didn't even freeze or anything. After 2 hours of debugging and 3 cans of coffee I was so frustrated I just wanted to watch some YouTube and relax. That's the moment I realized I didn't even have internet. I hate my ISP...

Knowing the Linux command line saved my bacon!

I was on a plane, unable to connect to wifi, and needed to take a note... while not having any note taking applications or text editing applications on my phone. but what I DID have was a terminal application.

So, I made a file in my documents folder and echoed my notes into the file! A bit longer and more complicated than it needed to be, but it worked when I needed it to!

For anyone that wants to install Debian on a Chromebook:

The way I did it is I downloaded the crouton binary (this can be found online) then I used the command:

sudo sh ~/Downloads/crouton/ -r Debian -t xfce, cli-extra, core,

Then I looked up how to move it to an external hard drive. Next I just symlinked the files to the normal crouton install path.

Then to start Debian, just type:

Sudo startxfce4

Or for command line only:

Sudo enter-chroot

I hope that was helpful.

Seconds after creating my first scraper in Go

Just found the first CLI game I made in c++. The code is a mess but it still works just fine.

Forced to work with eclipse instead of my usual gnu cli toolchain.

The thought of having to figure out the spectacularly complicated ways of configuring library projects and integrating them with a binary project has me so disgusted that I borderline am not able to do it.

I already feel myself coming down with crippling sickness.

You know that you're doing your job when you start dreaming in cli.

New job requires a lot of CLI and I have to start using Vim. Me right now when trying to exit:

— I got bored and built a CLI tool for fetching movie subtitles yesterday night.
— What for?
— Well, to get movie subtitles.
— Alright...
...
—... I, I built it...

When some born-in-the-90s chode claims that linux is bullshit because you might sometimes have to use the keyboard on the command line, I set that motherfucker's house on fire.

Genuinely thought "CLI" meant Command Line Interface. Only just realised it means Common Language Infastructure. How have I been a dev for this long :(

The fact that windows doesn't come bundled with a fucking SSH CLI client really pisses me off and I don't know why... Just let me be angry

It'd be really cool if devRant had some kind of cli tool for random rants during the workday direct from the terminal. Imagine being able to do:

$ dr 'fuck this shit'

moving to cli only because desktop contains distracshiunns.

can someone answer me some questions?

1) where to download a lot of music (hardstyle)
2) how to do project management in vim?
3) how to tmux in multiscreen?
4) how to use github in cli well (ik how it works, but maybe there are some things that are good to knew)
5) is lynx REALLY my only option for browsing the web?

hope my questions can help some fellow ranters, thanks in advance for answering

I love that my boss can swing by when I'm editing my dotfiles, or chatting in Telegram CLI, or browsing Reddit in rtv, and he thinks I'm hard at work because it's the terminal.

Why can't people either stop taking my stuff or learn how to use linux?

People keep trying to use my stuff (without permission) and then all they do is annoy me( call me a hacker or try to 1up me) or they get mad because they don't understand Linux.(my laptop boots into Cli by default)

The problem I have with atom, vscode, sublime, and notepad++ is that none are available on the command line over SSH, inside tmux. And that's where I do the vast majority of my text editing.

The first text editor I used on the command line was pico, the technological successor of which is nano. I used it because when I was in college in the late '90s, we used pine for our email, and pico was the default editor for pine.

When I got my first job out of college in 2000, I found out about vi, and very quickly fell in love with it, and its technological successor: vim.

The only reason I've never gotten into emacs is because I've never wanted for more than vi/vim. And also because as a system administrator, I'm logging into dozens, of not hundreds of servers a day. While vi or vim is guaranteed to be on all of them, emacs is not.

So, for me, the use of a desktop text editor like the ones I mentioned at the beginning of this post, just doesn't make sense to me. I almost never edit files that live on the computer where I'm sitting, and I'm not interested in doing a commit/push every single time I want to rerun a script.

I just got my Python project working on my new work PC!!! It took all morning 😂😂😂😂😂

I had to basically hack my company so I could do my job.

More specifically, I had to install a proxy server so Python, and other CLI tools, could access the internet via our company's NTLM/web proxy server.... After some IT morons reconfigured it... without testing or providing us a way to continue using it...

The help command I just wrote does not seem to be that helpful... :/

I want to start a community of advanced cli devs, but, idk.

Y'know, a bunch of people who make shit like spotify-cli, devrant-cli, pornhub-cli, the sort.

Do you use Git with GUI or CLi?

Minecraft mods get me into programming. I used to spend hours yelling at Eclipse for not making that stupid JAR file! 7 years later, I'm pursuing a career as someone who spends hours yelling at a CLI assembler for not making that stupid ISO file! Good times.

In a react-native code camp right now and troubleshooting participants install took 30% of the time 😂😂😂😂

What is wrong with Java CLI applications? Is it really necessary to output a billion lines consisting of INFO an WARN messages?
If I work some longer with beeline I turn into a Java application myself.

INFO: Writing rant

ERR!: SHUT THE FUCK UP JAVA!

Internal mail form CIO's office:

👧🏻 : Why CLI is faster than GUI? 🤔
👦🏻 : Terminal Velocity 😜

Nothing hits harder than love except for "rm -rf /".. That sh*t leaves nothing behind..

I wonder if there's a CLI for devrant 🤔🤔

Does anyone know?

I just pressed CTRL+W in Firefox to delete a word and lost 20 tabs of docs. 😣

Have you ever accidentally run CLI command on google search ?
I just did 😂😂.

Am I the only one around here thinking that the best UI is CLI??

Why would anyone need anything else?

Anyone else prefer working with git visually (i.e. Source Tree) rather than on CLI? I like seeing what's going on easily

ripgrep is AMAZING!

It's a CLI tool to search your code quickly, and here's the kicker: it uses your . gitignore to only index your source.

It is fast, powerful, and highly flexible and I'm MARRYING IT

`brew install ripgrep`
`rg 'your new bicycle' -g '!*.yml' `

Fuck you scp. I was uploading 6GB file to an EC2 server. Well, needless to say, "no space left on device" after all 6GB transferred was the biggest FUCK YOU moment. Seriously. Send the file size and check before you waste 30 minutes of my time. Oh, and don't read CLI command data as part of the transfer. You suck.

How about a devRant CLI client?

Is there any cli tool to train 10 finger typing on linux in the terminal?

If only CLI options worked that way

How the fuck is CLI a skill for job seekers?! And what's a Toolbox?
Apparently, recruiters write any Buzzwords they hear of! CLI is not even a Buzzword. How did it get there?

Language Warning

There year is 2019, and down here in Australia we have a fuckup called the NBN (National Broadband Network). We all have to switch to it, from ADSL2. Promised dreams and joys, only to be fucked again and again.

Paying $89 AUD per month for 25mbps, however only getting 0.61mBITSps at times. (Literally can see it at home.danferg.com)

Call up support. "Have you rebooted your router?" Yes. "Have you done a test?" Yes. "Can you send me the screenshot?" No, I did it through the CLI. "... What's a CLI?" Fuck.

"So.. have you got a test?" Yeah, I have 7000 of them, from each minute of the day for the past while. *Silence* "oh.... Ok well, we'll have to see if you qualify for a discount" DISCOUNT?! GIVE ME MY FUCKING MONEY BACK.

You never realise how easy development is for Linux till you actually use a CLI compiler and do anything native or is development related...

Really makes you wonder why Mac and windows are so locked down yet claim they are a great development platform...

It's embarassing and you guys will find it either rude or annoying but I have readied myself and here goes my confession;

Whenever I see the abbreviation for Command line interface I cringe. You know because cli ? And I read it in my head as 'Kli' which is like the shortened form of a female part ?
I can't just read it as "See, el, ai" or think 'Command line interface' directly.
My brain's first thought is it must be an acronym so you should read it like how you would read NASA which is also an acronym and not like 'cmd' which is not an acronym but just an abbreviation.
Thus whenever I see it I feel a mixture of embarassment, self-loathing and physical discomfort.

I wonder how can I not be embarassed and cringing whenever I see Something-CLI.
I just noticed when it's in uppercase I don't cringe as much. I should code a chrome extension to change all CLI abbreviations to upper case.

Fucking bullshit python.
I need to rewrite entire electroneum GUI wallet because PySide on arch linux dont have support for qtwebkit and well im kinda stuck here.
I may use the android electroneum wallet but well Private key is not on my phone so sorry but i will not use that and well i could use CLI wallet but this may sound weird for Arch guy but i like GUI in wallets.

my teacher genuinely asked the class, which one is better GUI or CLI? everyone said GUI except me, he asked why? (the reason he was expecting from me was something different) i said, "CLI differentiate us from those who just click and realise that how simple is this to operate and why are we being heavily paid?"

So I have a date tomorrow. First meeting in person. I’ve got a little time to kill before hand, and need to learn Dart anyway....so I thought it would be fun to code her up something interactive. Kinda like that game Mr and Mrs. Only in the terminal, and for nerds.

Features, ladies and gentleman?

$ whoami

Sitting in class witch my Arch/BSD/Debian laptop and using CLI to connect my phone over bluetooth. A crowd of some classmates is passing by and starts asking: " Are you going to hack the school bell?/ WTH are you doing there, Freak?" There were many of those moments.

No x-server, wayland. just drm and framebuffer. use computer just fine in this env. I can watch youtube and video. play music, play twitter, read rss, edit my program, surf a web, connect with other computer, view my image, read pdf with this freaking lightweight env.
Basicly, my super battery saver mode.
(want me to list all of these cli/tui app?)

Before I learned to use the gui and they saw a program cli: meh, ok sarcastically. After I learned the gui even if the program does absolutely nothing: wow! You have a future.

There are several categories of software development that I know of: front-end, back-end, full-stack, game, mobile, embedded etc., but what is the term for developing libraries and/or CLI utilities in languages like C++, Python, Go etc. that are not related with any of the above? System development doesn't seem wrong but I was wondering what's the correct term for it in the industry because I need to mention it in my resume and on LinkedIn.

Also, if there's a lesser-known category that you work on then do tell us all about it 🙂

So today it finally happened.

Npm modules broke my system and / or endangered the security of my system.

Installed a global cli utility
That utility depends on package A
That depends on package B

That fucking install a bin called sudo

Yeah.. You heard it right a bin called sudo.

This bin goes in the global module folder that is piped in your path variable.

Now everytime you type sudo you are running somebody else code instead of your system utility.

I am shivering and at loss of swear words.

Opened an issue on the cli that started this matrioska game of horror.

Who the fuck tought that a bin called sudo would be a good fucking idea?

Oh and yes is even an harmless package that try to provide the sudo experience for windows (I went in to check the code of course..)

And I frigging need that cli for work

For now I aliased the sudo in my bashrc still i feel vulnerable and naked now.

Ranters!

A couple of days ago I started development on a cross platform command line tool to read and post rants from terminal, but other devs were working on it too.

I haven't seen anything on here about those though, so I wondered: Is there any need for me? Aka, should I resume development?

How to know when you're bored?

You feel like building CLI based applications for social media like twitter (And i swear i didn't steal the idea form the devrant version of this)

Programmer's proposal:
(CLI:)

Will you marry me?[Y/n]

I just remembered an annoying experience I once had,

Wanted to know cli version asap (due to some bug introduced in a certain version):

-v (output: view --help for command)
--version (output: view --help for command)
FUCK
--help (revealed: -version)

Wanted to know it's dependency version:

-version (output: view --help for command)
FUCK
--help (revealed: version)

You could call me lazy for not always typing --help first but there must be a standard for this time sensitive command.

Use the CLI they said. It would be fun they said.

FUCK YOU WORDPRESS wtffff with that shit , i can't use multisite if running in 8081 port ?, fuck you! your """ cli """, your media folder with that month and year stupid subfolders, your plugins and your fucking unit test running on a complete WP instance. GO FUCK YOURSELF! stop with that shit and remake all that shit.

What language would you recommend for writing CLI tools quickly?

Cryptocurrency metrics and address cli monitoring tool

"Let's just add a logging system to our dependency"
No. You fucking idiot. DON'T INCLUDE A CUSTOM LOGGING SYSTEM INTO A DEPENDENCY FOR IMAGE MANIPULATION. I DON'T WANT YOUR FUCKING BULLSHIT LOGGING WHEN I'M FUCKING HANDLING IT MYSELF FOR MY ALREADY EXISTING SOFTWARE!! HOW DUMB CAN YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKER BE TO TELL ME TO JUST "IGNORE" THE MESSAGES IN THE CONSOLE WHEN I'M BUILDING A FUCKING CLI BASED SOFTWARE??!!

Daaamn! I needed to process some data simultaneously using PHP, so I thought of using Threads to make things faster, checked out SO and discovered that the available Thread class can only be used in cli environment not on a web server ... FML 😑.
It's like these moments that I remember why I hate PHP, and regret accepting this job.

I miss Java 😣😣

When I first started reading about Angular 4 I must admit I was a bit excited. It seemed like it fit the company enterprise requirements. The improvements it offered on paper looked quite good for our use case. HOWEVER... After writing Angular 4 for two weeks I'm seriously doubting I made the right decision. Testing is a dependency hell and there are two ways to build and structure your application. The webpack way and the SystemJS way. The grunt way and the angular-cli way. For fuck sake Google. And the documentation is somewhat half supporting one thing, half supporting another. So when you're using angular-cli with webpack, you're pretty much screwed when we're talking about documentation. It has now taken me almost 50 hours to write a pretty basic Angular app, made it compliant with our staging environment and writing a Makefile for it, since I haven't been able to find any same way to provide custom arguments when building it with the angular-cli --aot option. So fuck you Google. Luckily I've found a way to modularize it so much that I'll be able to reuse the core in the future. So I guess I got that thing going for me, which is nice... -.-' *sigh*

CLI ANSI C yatzee

Kinda curious as to why some people rave over vim?

Just tried it and instantly I prefer to use nano as a CLI editor, am I missing something or is it literally just a super subjective thing?

"Ok, let's see what ffplay offers us ... "

* enters 'ffplay -h' into console *

holy...
freaking....
cow.......

(it's still running while writing this "rant")

Oh shit it's a !rant, if you don't like !rants then scroll past this please.

When out of all my dumb classmates there's actually one that never learned much about programming before going to my school, got interested and is right now developing a library of CLI games... Of course I help him if he has any questions, and I will probably review his code after he's done.

Me: Let's try to implement this in js...

Also me: npm install webpack webpack-cli typescript --save-dev

there are two types of people: those who like the CLI and those who don't 🙂

So I am a beginner programmer, and mostly I practice Java by writing CLI calculators. Last month I have learned how to use the interfaces class, which in theory, should save you a lot of code.
The thing is, even though I have re-listened to the lesson like 5 times now, I am still having some trouble wrapping my head around the interface class.

A long way to go from Windows to Linux...

I recently updated all the stuffs on my Raspberry Pi 3.
Now nano* occasionally NULs out files I edit 🤔

*best CLI editor ever, change my mind

How much do you guys use CLI and why?

I did learn a bit of terminal as well as cmd as a hobby, but now I don't use cli that much anymore, maybe sometimes for git or fixing some issues... perhaps that's because:
1. I use windows
2. I am a .Net developer

what do you recommend for me to learn about next?
I have learnt about:
- web frontend/backend (php)
- android and java
- c, c++, nasm, gnu assembler
- parallel computing
- cli operating systems

with that background, what would you recommend?
I'm considering:
- neural networks
- making a server
- ethical hacking
- starting a blog

Some day somebody will start bringing ads to CLI's and that's when we know we have grown enough.

Working with Angular CLI be like:
-npm run ng : serve -> compilation successful
-aww yissssss...! :-)
-npm run build -prod

Setting up web development environment in Windows is always so annoying...

So Pop!_OS is my primary OS for development and Windows is my primary OS for gaming. I have Pop!_OS installed on my laptop (alongside Windows but I almost never use Windows on my laptop) and Windows on my desktop gaming computer.

One of the things I love about Debian-based OSes like Pop is the apt package manager. One of the things I've always hated about Windows is the fact it was lacking a cli package manager like apt.

Then I did a Google search for one and found Chocolatey. Curious about it, I installed it on my laptop (I was in Windows at the time to use FL Studio, which I've found doesn't work very happily with Wine.) With Chocolatey, I installed VirtualBox and Vagrant, and I have to say, I'm not disappointed. I'm ecstatic I've finally found a cli package manager for Windows.

TL;DR: If you use Windows and you don't have Chocolatey, get it.

2 new favourite acronyms for CLI work;
RIBEYE - Read it before execution ya' 'eejit
RIBBED - Read it before breaking everyone's domains

I had to try. 😀

Theres so many motherfucking command line utilities in web development that I'm surprised there isn't a 128 megabyte NPM install for a leftpad CLI.

God damn people who develop tooling for web development are some navel gazing cunts.
"How can I feel more self important? Lets put a CLI in front of this web bundler!"

Dumbasses.

What happened to the days of purity? Of cleanliness? Of kosher compliant web development, where all you had to do was include a script tag?

Gone are those days. Welcome to Babel(on)!
I put a CLI in your CLI so you can masturbate while you masturbate!

Trying out React Native on VSCode with react-native-cli because Android Studio is SO.FUCKING.FAT.

I use mySQL workbench on a daily basis, but I've been having issues with the dark GTK theme not working well with Linux. Should I do a workaround to get workbench to use a light GTK theme, learn to use SQL from the CLI, or go with a third option?

Linux is my kryptonite. I tried 4 different distros with Gui and Cli, tried a DVD, a USB, a hard drive, tried to install it as a primary OS (actually sacrificed my windows and all my stuff) and it still hangs up somewhere between choosing additional software and looking for hard drives. Sometimes life sucks

I used to hate the idea of using the terminal. This year, however, I decided to go full monty and there's no looking back. I've written scripts to reinstall oh-my-zsh, GUI apps and everything I need to work including workflow tasks. Reinstalling used to take me a week, I've effectively reduced it to 1 day.

Tired of chasing an elusive architecture and finding good community that helps promote it. Basically:

- Not CRUD
- Not MVC
- More like CQRS; commands and queries represent use cases
- Event Sourced; event log is source of truth, everything else is a cached projection
- Functional Domain Design; not DDD; focus on immutability and simplicity
- Functional in general; less OO
- More focus on domain concepts rather than tech concepts
- Domain can be used through CLI, API, or SDK
- UI is just another client to the API
- Authorization is ABAC, graph-based access control

I'm looking for a fucking unicorn.

Is there something like a CLI google translate? So when you quickly want to check a word you don't have to open the browser first. If so, what is the name of that program?

Holiday times. Let's finally try out building an app with react native. Download expo-cli. Scaffold project........

Project finished installing.

One day I helped another teacher with setting up his backend with the currently running Nginx reverse-proxy, peace of cake right?

Then I found out the only person with ssh access was not available, OK then just reset the root password and we're ready to go.

After going through that we vim'd into authorized_keys with the web cli, added his pub key and tried to ssh, no luck. While verifying the key we found out that the web cli had not parsed the key properly and basically fucked up the file entirely.

After some back and forth and trying everything we became grumpy, different browsers didn't help either and even caps lock was inverted for some reason. Eventually I executed plan B and vim'd into the ssh daemon's settings to enable root login and activate password authentication. After all that we could finally use ssh to setup the server.

What an adventure that was 😅

I can't tell if I'm in majority or minority on hating vim. I just use nano for CLI editing and some better GUI editor with, well, GUI.

Opinions? Reasons?

When you’re working on a React-Native app and decide to remove a library, don’t accidentally type a space instead of a hyphen when trying to remove something like ‘react-native-svg’. Xcode/expo get super mad when you remove react-native.

Fucking hell the AWS IAM documentation is confusing as fuck. Trying to set up a fucking role is harder than cutting a rock with a fucking spoon.

And who the fuck thought it would be a good idea to allow a CLI user to run any command he's allowed to without any form of authentication??
Oh, set up MFA for the CLI you say? Good fucking luck with that, if you ever manage to figure out how to set that shit up!
Fuck this shit!

Used visual studio's baked in git tools for the first time last night, it felt bizarre pushing to a repo without that momentary existential crisis thinking "oh god am I on the right branch, are these the right commits, did I add the right files, am I in sync with upstream".

Think I'll stick to cli, keeps me on my toes.

To create a native CLI application for Linux, windows and Mac using C or just use C# and tell people to use mono... These are the real questions that I can't tell if I'm too lazy to ask myself properly...

gonna rice up i3 real nice and classy on my new laptop.
do any of you know of a good spotify cli? i'm getting cmus in case spotify dosen't work, but it would save space if i could use spotify

I really don't like this trend of building command line applications for controlling some <buzzword> cloud app or <buzzword> framework.

Why should I need or want to learn the exact wording of your gcloud command, or the path to your Ng cli, or some ass-backwards AWS search syntax when I can get the same functionality from your web app, where I can use my FUCKING EYES to work out where the "Create Instance" button is and how to click it!!!??

Stop pushing your shitty python monolith of a client where possibilities for the above task range from:
- google-cloud instances --add "subfjfechye thiq"
To
- gcloud /create /type=INSTANCE "rogdhyuffhue"

"BuT iT mAkEs iT MoRe aUtomaTaBLe"
I DON'T CARE. What is the point when I can use a proper programming language instead of bash, with actual code-completion and syntax rather than the horrendous excuse for a suggestion system that is the Tab key where it probably doesn't even work in the first place and I have to copy and paste some mysterious dbus command buried in an old documentation page on the Wayback Machine using a utility I don't have installed and a broken URL?

Go away.

Finally convinced the senior engineer I'm working with to let me use Angular CLI for our front end because of all the added things we get compared to what he had originally setup for our Angular project (plus it's a phenomenal tool). I was slowly adding in things to make the app better (more like a PWA), but what pushed him over the edge was the platform-webworker package letting us off load some heavy tasks into a web worker. I'm excited for the improvements coming!

Detecting platform in cmake (which I hate).
WHY do you display "armv71", yet can't match the string "armv71"???!?

I'll need to post my cmake lists and cli results on stackoverflow.

OK, last try, I'll copy and paste from the terminal into my file.

Ooooh! You weren't saying "armv71"! You were saying "armv7l"! 😥

(And my font does make a difference between l and 1)

I just took up a challenge to convert an image into a file with its RGB values and then an opposite script which reversed the process. I can't believe how in the zone I was.

I plan to add split work loads with multithreading and a user-friendly CLI parser.

Every once in a while, I find myself having to redirect both stdout and stderr to a file (or to stdout) in bash. Every time I have to Google it.

When you start mashing the tab key to get to a specific file, then realize you put 'cd' in the beginning of the line.
Then proceed to question your intelligence or lack thereof.

What's the hype about Rust

I've been seeing post about Rust everywhere and I got curious so I checked the repo. However, I'm not sure what is it for.

Is it like C/C++, low level languages that can be used for desktop and CLI, or is it a AI-oriented, etc?

Give me an example like "it could replace C#" or something.

Upgrading frontend JS node webpack apps created from boilerplates or cli creators including versions in package.json

My brain already hurts only thinking about it.
