It’s more common than you think. I graduated in 2013 and can tell you there were minimal opportunities to learn how to operate a Linux command line (if you didn’t already want to). Most jobs will set you up with some IDE with the codebase preloaded and a big green compile button, it’s just easy to avoid I guess.
I’ve been using Linux since 2008 and it’s the most high-yield skill set I have, it makes everything simpler and I encourage others to learn it.
- animitronix 4y agoIt's crazy how fast it changed then. I graduated in 2002 and you literally could not leave without knowing how to use Unix. When I started in '98 the school's email system had to be checked through terminals and my dorm hadn't even been wired with Ethernet, although we had it by the second half of my freshman year.
