Fair anecdote, but compare that to all of the untold millions of times someone's day has been derailed because they didn't push the shift key. It's a user interface, not an API.
- paulddraper 8y agoOn the contrary, the file system is an application programming interface (hence its presence in every standard library and kernel). File explorers, etc. are user interfaces.
- Drdrdrq 8y agoDoes that really happen? Both CLI and GUI utils help find the correct file name (using Tab and by sorting, respectively). Can someone raise a hand if that happens to them?
