So, keeping in mind that you said you'd had your issues with exiting nano (despite the instructions being on-screen at all times), is CS for you?
Besides, people have other reasons to be messing around with Linux/Unix than studying CS.
I'm sorry, but you're presenting exactly 0 arguments for gatekeeping except gatekeeping itself, and that just seems rather silly to me.
- artsyca 7y agoI started on an apple][ where anything you typed simply said SYNTAX ERROR and there was no stack overflow
- lillesvin 7y agoThat's cool, but do you have any arguments for gatekeeping except for "for the sake of gatekeeping"?
- artsyca 7y agoYes because it's hard until it isn't whereas the other way around it's a bunch of green neophytes all thumbs
- lillesvin 7y agoYeah, God forbid that we actually improve on things and make them more accessible. Hell, we should all start out with punch cards and only be allowed to use a keyboard once we've punched our way through making a functioning driver for it. That CS macho thing you're trying to get going is both silly, unproductive and meaningless.
