One does not, in fact, start Powershell from inside cmd. "It helped OS X ;-)" Have you seen what they were coming from? Apple is a fucking joke when it comes to systems and software engineering--it's their industrial design and UX that everyone loves. "rely on Visual Studio for automating your build" msbuild.exe and PowerShell. "It's not doing a good job" compared to what, exactly? It's super easy to set up compiler options in C/C++ on MSVC, pretty easy to add other things. You'd prefer makefiles? "available source-code at the click of a button" because when we're hacking we want to stop and read somebody else's code instead of, you know, just using a cleanly documented API. "And on Linux, people automate the shit out of the build process so it isn't much of a problem" bahahahahahha hahahahaa haha (no) ~ It seems like you're trolling or you've never worked on a project outside of your bubble.

PowerShell is, well, a shell language. This combination is not a substitute for Maven, hence my argument that it felt like going back to the nineties. > You'd prefer makefiles?

Note that I never resorted to ad-hominems. That's very unprofessional and very unlike the HN attitude. Chill. And if you do feel the need for personal attacks, I'm also public about my identity, it's not much, but here you have my resume and my GitHub profile, no need to guess - https://www.bionicspirit.com/pages/about.html https://www.bionicspirit.com/pages/about.html
