Typical hip startups use "tools" (frameworks, libraries, etc.) that abstract underlying platform to such an obscene degree, that it doesn't really matter, if the platform is POSIX-compatible or not.
- dunkelheit 11y agoOn the contrary, when these tools invariably break, knowing your way around POSIX environment is indispensable. Something as simple as invoking strace on a binary to find out where this damn thing looks for files it needs can save you hours.
