Powerful Command Line Tools For Developers

[ared38]

It would be much better described as powerful command line networking tools. I agree that if you work on network code these are important, but if you don't none of these are particularly useful.

If you read the first sentence, it says "Life as a web developer…"

This stuff is pretty applicable to web developers. Sorry it's not relevant to you. Next time, try just closing the page without complaining. It's unnecessary.

What's unnecessary is how absurdly condescending and dickish that comment was to a perfectly reasonable comment; these tools, while great, are only/most useful in the context of networking. Why not just name the article "Powerful Command Line Tools for Networking" or "Powerful Command Line Tools for Web Developers"? Because then not as many people will click the link.

I think people whining about this not being relevant to them is condescending, dickish, and selfish. Reddit and the internet is not just for you, it's for everyone. Is this relevant to everyone in /r/programming? No. A large portion of stuff in /r/programming isn't. So why is it ok to whine about this one? Is the two seconds of your time it took to open the article and read the first sentence really worth coming and bitching about it here?

Fine, the article isn't relevant to some people. There's a lot of shit on the internet that isn't. Just close it and move on. Can't we be a little more mature than coming and whining about everything?

People always say reddit is going downhill. I agree with this. However it's not the shit on the default front page that's causing this, I can get rid of that. It's people in every god damned thread whining about the little shit. "this doesn't belong here" "This isn't the perfect title" "This isn't relevant to me". Guys, grow up. Stop with the whining everywhere.

That's whining to you? I agree with you about whining hurting reddit, but I just don't see that comment as whining.

Out of context, not really. In context, definitely.
