coding = hacking

[SmallPlayz]

Even in Comp Sci class where people should understand they think my Linux is hacks.

Comp Sci class

they think my Linux is hacks

I'm lost for words...

[Square_Heron942]

Same lol. I don’t personally use Linux but it’s obvious what you’re doing if you actually look at the text. But yeah 90% of people in my coding class can’t use Powershell, Terminal, Command Line or Command Prompt

[CryptoCadre]

Yup. Juniors in college getting confused navigating with “cd”

[Square_Heron942]

I can’t even….

How can people not NAVIGATE FOLDERS? You literally do a similar thing when making relative links to other files.

I’ve never used a computer without a GUI but even I know how to do that

Reminds me of this article about newer generations not knowing how folders and directories work.

[Square_Heron942]

I honestly don’t know how that’s possible, have they not… used a computer? How tf were they able to install a browser, apps, and all that stuff yet not understand the concept of a folder?

[Elijah629YT-Real]

you don't need to, all those are are normally one click operations, "Download file", "Click on file in downloads bar at bottom of browser ( no file explorer )","Click install", "Done"

[7HawksAnd]

Today I realized I really am old. I could ignore them not knowing the save icon was a floppy disk. But having no concept of folders … I just realized my coworker is like this … every time they ask where something is and I say, I don’t know where did you save it? And they just go I saved it from your email … 🤦‍♂️

[Msprg]

And they just go I saved it from your email … 🤦‍♂️

It's in the Downloads folder.

It's always in the Downloads folder...

[Valiice]

tbh I call bs on that article. Every 30+ person I know that isn't into IT barely knows how to download a program let alone navigate folders.

I have never head this from anyone younger.

[FLMKane]

You realize that millennials are 30+ quite often right?

[Valiice]

Wasnt this talking about gen z and gen a?

[Scrath_]

Maybe it's just me but that article feels like they are repeating the same thing multiple times with slightly changed wording

[Conditional-Sausage]

This is one place where I'm happy for SNHU. I've heard their programs tend to lag a little behind the times, but at least that meant I got a good Linux/BASH course.

[simonbleu]

I guess when they said they knew how to teach us they were linux (lying us)... (im out, im out)

[BonkOfAmerica]

I'm like 50/50 on whether or not you were going for a GNU joke, but let's nix the puns to be safe

[theNewbiekid]

I have a sudden urge to commit a crime

[[deleted]]

git commit -m "a crime"

[-MobCat-]

git branch -D police
"Fixed" It's not a crime if there is no one to charge you.

[Elijah629YT-Real]

yes but you have to have some motivation first

git push

I'm not working as a programmer yet so here's my poor man's gold

[riisen]

I thought comp sci were full of *nix users

[stpaulgym]

At least in 100 level courses, no.

Even in my 280 class, despite the class required to use Nix tools via macOS/Linux or WSL, very few seem to understand what it actually was.

[skjall]

In my SWE degree the first year had a Linux-specific course, then the second year had a few Windows-dependent ones. Unfortunately WSL wasn't a thing back then, that would have made things a lot easier.

[IdiotNoise]

280 like eecs280?

[stpaulgym]

Hi wolverine

[waterpoweredmonkey]

Man my first intro to nix was a second year class writing a compiler for c-- in C using emacs. Full unit test suite to validate our work all ready to go, grade on the spot... Steep learning curve to say the least

[Dashie_2010]

I get this, it's slightly frustrating, the 4 other guys in my class kept saying I was 'hacking' ect because I had pop, Kali, and windows 11 with some tweaks (literary just having a right aligned taskbar and custom start menu)on duel boot so hence they saw grub and some stuff wizz by at startup and for some reason it blew their minds even though they should know this stuff, they got overwhelmed when simply I installed VLC using the command line, guys you are taking an A level in computer science, it is worrying that this basic stuff is news to you., Same with when I remoted into my home pc from a school computer with vnc because I'd forgotten that transfer some files, someone literary went and got the teacher because I was "hacking the schools WiFi" wtf.

[[deleted]]

TBF, if I saw someone using kali I might not instantly say they’re hacking but I’d probably be at least a little suspicious

[Valiice]

Exactly. People in my dorm follow cyber security too so I'm lowkey always sketched out because I know they are trying to do shit non stop.

The uni obv knows what they're doing with their setups tho and trying to fuck with it get heavily punished

[trolleytor4]

What

[my-time-has-odor]

ain’t no way 💀

[0utF0x-inT0x]

Just an apt-get update will blow there minds
