I read the first few paragraphs but when I saw the size of my scrollbar, I decided the author is putting way too much thought and effort into owning a VC-funded tech CEO playing the game you play when you're running a a VC-funded tech company.

"Our product is the second coming of Christ and if you give me money now you'll 100000x your investment!" is the correct answer to all questions when you're in that position. I'm not saying it's admirable, but it's what you do to keep money coming in for the time being. It's not that deep.

In that case everything should just answer "piss off, salesman" and walk away because their words are of no value.

I am surprised this kind of scam could be legal anywhere, I hope that such a practice is prohibited in more places then just EU.

Buying value stocks may be better than buying an index, but identifying value stocks is hard and time consuming. Wouldn't the average investor be better off buying index funds, since the average investor does not have the time, inclination, or training to find value stocks?

Then just pick a value index. Or a total market index but other weight then market cap (fundamentals...).

Let’s add to the question “what is the quality of code review process in Linux?” an other one “what is the quality of ethical review process at universities?”.

I think there should be a real world experiment to test it.

I'm not sure if this is satire or not, but certainly the single worst case of using a terminal is file manipulation. Nothing will ever beat the right-clicks or Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V combos. It's just more natural to "see" things that you move.

Now when it comes to more complex applications, I'd stop using the CLI if I had to search the manpages or the internet each time for doing something I already did previously. Since I discovered the Ctrl+R shortcut (for searching your history), it has been much easier. You read the manpage once, maybe you do an internet search, you enter the command and then you can find it back as long as it's still in your bash history (be sure to set HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE to correct values). I also have a DOCS.txt file where I put all the rare but useful commands I'm afraid of losing. I don't need to be an expert in ffmpeg's options (... though I sort of am now), I can just look at my history or my DOCS.txt file!

For some strange reason I have a GUI (nautilus), TUI (mc) and CLI (fish) at my disposal... but I do lots of file manipulation at CLI. Nothing will ever beat `massren` with the power of `vim`.

(But no kidding: somethings feels CLI very natural, sometimes feels GUI more natural for me.)
