Back in my day, MS-DOS let you use HELP on QBASIC commands.

My favourite text based game is still Fallthru

No shit. I’m saying the tools I had to make myself should come standard instead of wasting dev time on command line bullshit.

Making a little program that opens a window with some buttons to pin to my taskbar is infinitely easier than digging out docs and copy pasting into a command line every time I need to do anything. Paste the command once, done. It’s like 10 lines of code, plus about 3-4 for each command I add. Maybe drag the window a bit bigger when I add the button.

I’m anti everything that requires daily use of arcane command line bullshit. I thought we were on the way to being over that when Windows 3.1 came out.

If it needs to be done more than once, make it a button on a little program. I’ve rolled my own for any of them that can be triggered from the windows command line. But Docker and others that require their own unique command line I can’t do that. I wouldn’t be as annoyed by Docker if Docker Desktop just did all the crap it should instead of requiring command line bullshit every damn day.

I really want to make a “closed as duplicate” joke about yet another billionaire being stupid and tanking their site.
