As frustrating as this may be, it's even more frustrating when I see exactly the same thing among PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS!
directory structure and basic text editing are foreign concepts to them. If it's not in their IDE, they really don't understand it.
Also, 90% of them are hunt-and-peck two finger typists.
I'm honestly blown away by how many developers don't even know the basics of git
They had one employer maybe who never used it?
Yeah, some companies are very slow to adapt. One company I worked for was still using SVN. It was a nightmare lol, and when they did finally migrate to git, some of my coworkers were completely lost.
But there's also something to be said among developers I've worked with on hobbyist projects. Plenty of people who just shared files over and over, or just had it on Google drive or Dropbox
We hired a guy 2 years ago and his company was still using MS Virtual SourceSafe. Dudes, that was released in 1994 and the last update was 2005. Just crazy.
Because a GUI makes everything a lot simpler. I only started understanding how git works the moment I dropped the GUI and had to resolves issues through CLI.
I typed hunt and peck for so long that I can hunt and peck with my eyes closed. Though technically I'm not hunting anymore, just pecking lol.
Hey! What did my two fingers ever do to you!
Hunt and peck, allegedly.
Feeling' a bit peckish
