Terminal Is Still the Best Computer Interface
In any modern thriller, you can be sure to see a geek, hood on, behind black screen typing keys madly.
It seems complex, the character is seen as a super-hero able to manipulate the world to his needs.
In reality, it’s just a terminal and a keyboard. People working on computers this way don’t type so fast. With a much lower window change framerate.
Anyway, they use a terminal for a good reason.

If you are working in an IT team, as a data or software engineer, you are probably trying to automate as much work as possible.
Following the DevOps movement, modern stacks rely more and more on the “All As Code” concept: from infrastructure (Infrastructure as Code) to notebook analysis and complex data visualization, a computer science job is more about scripting than open a business software to drag and drop rows of data.
In fact, this is a “modern” way of working, especially on the “engineering” side.
On the business side, a lot of work is still done in Excel, in dashboard applications, or on some business software: work relying on moving content over and over to different places.
