That just reminded me an old song from my childhood...
Napoleon Boulevard - Júlia (1988): Júlia nem volt erős, vagy több minálunk
Júlia nem volt se jó se szép
Most Júlia nem akar a földön járni
Fölszállt inkább a fejünk fölé
(I let you play with translation )

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Either that's awful, or Google Translate did not do it justice at all

Google Translate is the worst of the two...
(I can't even see why it called Translate...)

For decades Microsoft pushed forward a too much complex graphical UI for servers, including that idiotic, touch-centered Metro for 2012 servers...Now it is command line for everyone?

It's NOT UI vs console, it's UI + Console nowadays!

Does it means that Novell NetWare console apps were not so bad after all ?

I can't think of any time that they've forced an OS-level upgrade on people. Sure, they've made it so you couldn't get any work done without upgrading (from 9 to X), and crammed truly, phenomenally stupid app upgrades on people. But I don't know if they've ever done some of the stuff the Windows team has been doing lately.
It's been such an "own goal" on their part. They really should just be showing people 10 more - it's a pretty good upgrade. It shouldn't need to be forced on people.

True enough, I can't think of a compelling reason to upgrade from 7. I was on WEight, so there were fixes needed

When I say that Github captures the zeitgeist of the programmer world of the 2010s, I am thus saying that Github is at the absolute core of the software development universe. Because people *really* like resolving merge conflicts

While I've never taken advantage of the feature, others have touted the greatness of being able to work with branches while disconnected.
Pull requests are useful, especially in open source projects, where 99% of the contributions are things you want to reject rather than having automatically folded into the branch.
GitFlow is the technical "solution" to the technical problem that Git created -- how to work in a disconnected, multi-branch-verse project. And it itself is a nightmare. I've seen developers create a branch for a single line of code, issue a pull request, accept the request, merge it into the main branch, and then delete the working branch.
I think this comes from the fact that Linux users start suffering psychotic episodes if they don't do something on the command line at regular frequency. It's like a drug, and the withdrawal causes all sorts of howling agony and shouting like "I will never use an IDE" (yes, I have actually heard that.)
