CLUI: Building a Graphical Command Line (2020)
"Terminals, the primary platform for command-lines, are intimidating and feel like a black box to non-technical people."That's learned helplessness.My mother, who is a distinctly non-technical person, learned to use IRC when she was 60. Why? Because her friends were already using it. She wrote down a series of commands that her friends sent her in email, carried them out, and then spent years happily chatting with them.Humans are very good at learning complex things when they see something they want at the end of it.
