"graphical user interfaces make easy tasks easy, while command line interfaces make difficult tasks possible"
- William E. Shotts Jr., The Linux Command Line: A Complete Introduction
It has taken me a long time to get comfortable using a Linux CLI (definitely not as familiar with windows cmd prompt/powershell), and I know that if I log into a box anywhere, If it has sh or bash or some variant of those shells, I'll be able to get by.
Now, on my home server, moving & renaming a bunch of media files has me really wishing I had a DE installed there to Ctrl + click/Drag-n-drop...
Also, I love using VScodium/Code as an IDE bc of its configurability & rich plugin ecosystem -- but recently I had some performance hiccups with extensions not playing nice together and started (again) down the masochistic path of configuring neovim to use as an "IDE"...
Though we are moving to kubernetes & helm soon, currently we use migration scripting tools (like
alembic) for schema and data migration on app start, and our infrastructure/devops team uses ansible for deployment. Currently, we don't have CI/CD straight to production—it's still a manual process—but I hope to change that as our organization starts using k8s.
