Throughout my career in dev I have always had to have a presence on sometimes dozens of servers. If something can't be fully customized in a few keystrokes it is not worth the effort, especially if whatever is being customized gets thrown away.
- oblio 8y agoYou'd be surprised how different dev careers can be. In Windows land it's quite frequent that the dev never leaves Visual Studio. In Eclipse/Java land something similar, even though often the deployments would be on Linux, for cost saving reasons, the devs would all be on Windows. I should write a blog post or something at some point about the differences in dev careers. Enterprise software development is very different from embedded software development which is different from web development for the mass market which is different from mobile development, etc.

Don't get me wrong, those Java developers can be great guys, but when the GUI-only people have to interact with the CLI for the first time, all sorts of problems can manifest themselves.
