Linux devs in general seem to be quite content with absolutely atrocious tooling.
- sitkack 1y agoSomething something grug printf is all you need. People who LARP as Unix neckbeards rejoice in having nothing. Not content, actively seek out worse solutions. Real Scottish craftspeople enjoy having amazing tooling. They even know how to use a debugger!
- jauntywundrkind 1y agoYour either deep in the shit amazed anything works and respecting the world about you, so happy any tool at all is trying to make things better… Or you have the free time to be a loudmouth online and mouth off about how tech's x y and/or z are dumb and how a shitty bash script is more than enough. Thankfully I think now Linux has some really great tooling now. But very few people have calls of duty where they are called to do super serious work. Mostly the job calls for pretty simple shit. Make the dumb app go. Throw more servers at the problem someday. The tension is real. It's unfortunate that the cutting edge is so spread out, is so far in advance of the main body of devs.
- sitkack 1y agoI agree, and thanks to AI we can scream debuggers at each other online, amazed that THAT actually works.
- snihalani 1y agoI don't get why tho.
- jiggawatts 1y agoWhy use a propriety steam hammer when you can bash things with open source rocks?
- 01HNNWZ0MV43FF 1y agothis but unironically
- wmf 1y agoNah, there are plenty of newer open source tools that people either resist using or don't even know about.
