I work as a data analyst at a large company, and I can never believe how many people are afraid of the command line. I'm not even talking about anything complicated, I'm talking about typing one command in. I made a helpful python script to automate a process that we run often and around 50% of the people who run it act like they're defusing a bomb when they try and run it even though it's literally just python script.py file.csv. Hell, some of that 50% will even happily run python but only through a Jupyter notebook.Anyone else in a non-programming role run into something similar? It isn't really an age thing either, I've seen it in several different age groups.
Paralysis induced by ignorance.You get relatively low-level access to the operating system, and you have *no idea what you can do*, so you prefer to not do anything because you might break something.

>>108367055It's much more than mere learned helplessness or lack-of-interface paralysis or healthy caution. My mom freaked the fuck out when she saw the command prompt once and she has a degree in some database shit. There's also very very little you can do with a command line you can't do with a GUI, it's not like you have more low level access.
>>108366868Just put the fries in the bag lil bro. If you wanna be a dev so bad become a dev or something. You dont need to do all that extra work especially for people who dont need it.
>>108366868I think you sre a reatded jeet that thing typing dir is your magic powah>>108366868>I made a helpful python script to automate a process that we run often and around 50% of the people who run it act like they're defusing a bomb when they try and run it even though it's literally just python script.py file.csv.and the genius that is you could not just give them as fucking shortcut to it?JEET
I was on an emergency call to work on a controller failure for a financial server involving millions of dollar for a major hotel chain owner. This was a nig deal. They flew a part in on a private jet and had a courier bring it to me.Their in-house support gave me a list of shell commands to run to essentially copy a file to a directory. I was streaming this to to a whole team of them and I went off script to run ls. Just confirming the file was there.One of them exclaimed "Whoa! You did a ls!" They sounded genuinely amazed or impressed. It's not the first time it was apparent that these guys only ever dip into the cli when they are following a script for work.The good news is you look like hackerman.
>>108366868>csv. Hell, some of that 50% will even happily run python but only through a Jupyter notebook.Dude what do you guys even do all day? Seriously are you paid to sit there and output like 1 bar graph a day. I literally worked two desks away from a team of data analysts. The only time they talked to us normies is to know which database had which datas. I think they're retarded. They didn't even write SQL just full ass data exports into their spreadsheet or some shit.
>>108367605This. I made a script for the dummies at the office that just opens a file picker to select the input file.
>>108367789>This. I made a script for the dummies at the office that just opens a file picker to select the input file.lol I've done this as well. I used python and tkinter to make some truly horrible desktop apps for chuds and nancies. its actually hilarious how much you can automate away. I wired this one button to ssh into the server and download this dudes files so I don't have to email him. the app is a SINGLE FUCKING BUTTON. he loves it.
>>108367763>They didn't even write SQL just full ass data exports into their spreadsheet or some shit.you struck the 'data analyst' right in his most vunerable spot there, right in the nads.Actual data analytics applied machine learning is alien to these monkey who seem to think doing 'reports' for rge retard that hired the, is 'data analytics' whe that has been arouf for fucking decades, from odbd, to crystal reports to sap to sage reporting to sql server reporting services, for some reason people who has done an intro course in python in the last few years started calling themselves 'data analyists' again they can barely use excel, often pulling out data as csvs. It is in full collapse it has been enjeeted to obliviont. hunts fraud in big erp systems using AI
>>108366868Every home computer manual in the '80s included some form of "don't be afraid, you can't break your new computer by pressing the wrong key". It's always been there. Arguably it used to be even worse, back in the '90s I knew otherwise sensible people that had pure monkey-brained fear spasms every time their computer made a strange noise.
