I don't think this is the class of developer the article is referencing

These are about as standard as you can get when it comes to Unix keybindings

You mean except for all the obvious reasons?

This whole post feels like bait

  Or you could, you know, use any decent IDE, or a deterministic refactoring utility, or even a quick Perl script.

Nothing is stopping YOU from doing that. If you enjoy working that way, have at it.

At $300 I really would have expected they include a full year of Apple TV, 3 months doesn't cut it

I generally don't agree with the framing in the gist, but I'm not sure where you are getting that the author wouldn't consider gdb to be a tool

This is one of the strangest opinions I've seen in awhile. Your complaint seems like it should be pointed at projects not having a working "clean" make target.

Also:

  git status --ignored
  git clean -ndX # preview what would be removed
  git clean -fdX # actually delete the files (warning: destructive)

If anything, it would be seeing a surge because of AI. LibreOffice cli is the go to method for doing office documents -> pdf -> image rendering for agent doc rendering feedback.

At a minimum its DHH trying to launder his reputation

This is close to my experience as well, but it certainly doesn't seem to be the case for everyone. My wife can picture things in her head and describe them in vivid detail and talks about how she can move and manipulate the objects and change the colors and shapes in more or less infinite detail

I see actual images, but at least for me its not anywhere near the same as actually looking at something. Its sort of like watching a low fidelity movie for me and I can't really "focus" in on specific details of what I'm visualizing. I think there is definitely a spectrum.

Again, how is that an indication of "sysadmin" type employees rather than misaligned SWEs?

> They mostly have sysadmin types of employees.

What on earth led you to that conclusion?

This is just straight slop. The person who prompted this didn't read it, you shouldn't waste your time on it either.
