@darius (the link that was here was ~ maya.land/responses/2021/09/23 for anyone wondering)

The piece mushes up "using directories" with "using directories at the terminal" which are wildly not the same, and IMO not fair to say are equally "fundamental". I would bet $$$ that gen z is equally adept at GUI folder interfaces as, say, gen X.

@darius terminal skills are super important! and directory structure really does reflect something super baked-in to what files even mean to an OS, so I don't think that the goal should be transcending that – but.... I saw enough gore wherever professors tried to teach "easy" "background material" that they'd not considered much in order to get students "up to speed" that... I'm skeptical of the narrative being It's The Students Who Are Wrong.
