Heh, I had a CS Professor once refer to the command line as "a legacy technology that's still occasionally useful for testing." I didn't tell her that saying that at a hiring interview at my company would end the interview.
- _delirium 16y agoI've had more the opposite experience--- one CS professor used only a Unix command line without X installed, and his machine didn't have a mouse. Not sure which is worse.
- desigooner 16y agoi can relate to that .. not only did my professor use command line only, he required the finals (more like a paper) and the project reports typed up in LaTex + the presentations in .PS/PDF format .. No Word or Powerpoint
- Quiark 16y agoIsn't that actually a good thing? :)
- jodrellblank 16y agoIn the same way that forcing people to code everything in assembler or C instead of Ruby or Python out of some religious ideology is a good thing. Word produces acceptably formatted acceptably cross platform documents with low effort and a PDF export option for the last three years too.
