It’s fine to chuckle and make fun about how esoteric that sounds, but at the same time I expect people that work on my team to rise to the challenge of proving that they occasionally attended data structures and algorithms class."

And those can (read:should) have a visual representation, yes? Why are we still typing archaic/cryptic commands - read: wasting brain cycles that could be better spent - for what are ultimately manipulation of something best represented visually?

It's time to move on. I'm sure someone will fax you when the time comes. Hopefully, you can keep up :)

There are visual tools for git though, so what's the problem?

- Gitk

- Tower for OS X

- Github

Besides, some people enjoy using CLI tools the obvious reason that they're simple to use and can be used programmatically with minimal overhead.

So you're saying you don't know how to use Git then?

I mean, you're just describing the act of programming in general here.
