🌸 Stereotypes are dumb 🌸
I worked with a dev at a prev. company. He had a CS degree, 1 yoe, and was a Python dev. High performer.
... and he could only use a GUI. No experience w/ a shell.
He couldn't:
• make or change directories
• edit files
• use git at all
Say whaaaat?
We were pairing on Zoom and I asked him to make a new directory for a project. He opened up Finder. I asked him if he could use the terminal, and he said "no, usually I do it on the computer or in IntelliJ".
So I helped him without shaming him and listed out practical "why's" for why the terminal is a clutch thing to learn.
After that pairing sesh, he knew what he didn't know and the importance of it.
By the time I left that job, he was confident on the command line and even more productive. He could use vim at a basic level. 🎉
However, I was embarrassed by my inner monologue!
See, my gut reaction (and maybe yours if you're reading this) had been:
• "kids these days"
• "didn't he go to, like, a GOOD university?"
• "what do schools even teach?!"
Finally it hit me, "Despite this gap, he's the most productive person on the team!"
That last point was what stuck.
Closing thoughts:
1. Stereotypes are dumb. Not all {insert term} developers are terminal wizards.
2. Sometimes I encounter developers who have gaps in their knowledge, it doesn't mean they're not good at their jobs.
3. (Productivity + curiosity) > existing knowledge.
4. Teach kindly, without assumptions.

@dbchhbr I switched a few years back and haven’t looked back. @code used to be slower but now it’s just as fast as Sublime.
I’ve found that the VSCode lessons from @MrAhmadAwais have helped me immensely. You can also bind key commands to what you were used to in Sublime.
📸 Today I learn a video course for VS code editor by @MrAhmadAwais - https://t.co/h8xYaoJRes
💜 Loving the purple theme "Shades of Purple"
Back then I use Sublime & FTP. I've been too busy building stuff & some of my projects are hanging. Time to switch and practice!
Completed @VSCodePRO course. Learned a lot from this course. @code
From today I can confidently say that I can get more out of VS Code. Thanks @MrAhmadAwais for creating such an amazing course which can help every developer.😀

@MrAhmadAwais, https://t.co/aCblVhnviC is amazing! @LambdaSchool's demanding program requires us to #code daily. Your course has enabled me to use @code efficiently – allowing me to focus on #learning instead of fighting with an editor. My #programming has increased as well!
🔥 Always glad to hear when students #CodeNewbies are enjoying my https://t.co/YEAoj4vm4g course.
Devs learn everything but their editor where they actually spend 80% of the time. 👀
Making yourself productive with @code helps you become a Pro/Sr. Developer.

Fellow @VisualStudio Code users: Check out @MrAhmadAwais 's Shades of Purple theme: https://t.co/SPoVrKKk1J
I believe it's the most beautiful theme I've ever used and was clearly a labor of love. Every color and font fits perfectly and beautifies the app. I highly recommend it!
It’s amazing that @MrAhmadAwais in his “VSCode Power User” offers an special discount because I’m from another country! This is very nice specially when exchange rates doesn’t favor us!
IDE's are powerful tools, overrun with features and tooling. I have watched @MrAhmadAwais course 3 times since its release. I would have never switched to @code without it.
I've finally tried ⚡️the #ShadesOfPurple theme for #vscode. What a change! My code is far prettier and more readable. Can't stop looking at it 😍.
You did an outstanding job, @MrAhmadAwais. I felt in love even if I'm no fan of purple 🤣. Thanks a lot!
