> To say nothing of the fact that a programmer can't use the CLI? What programmer is that?

I've seen this a fair bit before. The most common case (in my experience) is "enterprise" developers who use an IDE, only develop in a single language, and use a GUI Git tool for version control.

I would say that, in most cases, the assumption that they don't have a strong understanding of the concepts abstracted away from them (compilers/git/etc) tend to be more correct than not.
