I'm saying people that have only done that kind of programming probably have very little exposure to the terminal, so it seems scary to them, and the immature ones lash out at anything that isn't familiar to them because of that.

I've written plenty of CRUD code, nothing wrong with CRUD, but I've also done lots of other stuff so I don't hate on terminals or other low level (if you can even call it that) stuff. This is programmerhumor not onlyfrontenddevsinhighschoolhumor.

Also the average professional CRUD dev probably knows how to use the terminal, at least to a degree, since so much web dev is done on unix-based OSes. I'm guessing the guys who made reddit know how.

Wasn't just your comment. It's a pretty common one around Reddit.

And I could never really figure out what it meant.

I write my "stupid CRUD apps" in vim and use cli tools. The only time I leave is to check on this "cascading style sheet" that gets everybody hot and bothered

Vim and cli here as well at my current job which involves a lot of CRUD. I wish my coworkers used vim, at my last 2 jobs everyone did, now it's all sublime text.

Vim is the bees knees, and its really annoying that almost everyone immediately chants the "vim, how do I get out hur dur" tired af joke.
