I was recently trying trying to get help on a clipboard program someone had recommended me, clipq. What I found instead was a GitHub discussion where the dev said “I’m not sure what you mean by ‘man’ pages” in response to someone asking for them. I think I need to find an alternative
It is not that complicated and there are plenty of tools to generate man pages from other formats. Besides, this is about the dev not knowing what a man page even is.
Stuff like this is why I’m really glad I was a hard ass about learning “the right way,” and refused to let myself use a full IDE and instead rely on a terminal setup. Crazy how many people (with tons of experience) can be missing basic knowledge about how *nix environments run
I can’t imagine working with linux and not being comfortable with its most fundamental conceit: interactive ttys that you can do anything from. It’s like being a Windows user and not knowing about the Start menu

tbf syntax for writing manpages is closer to latex than markdown

Soy devs have invaded Linux.
What do you mean by this?
“You’re not a real dev if don’t know [insert thing here]”
I’m not seeing the soy connection
