Tbh if your nodejs devs can’t handle some Python then you need better devs. I’d been happy to help!

Some of them complain about regexes, and running commands in the terminal.

Recently one was blocked for a day because they didn't think to google "how to make a script executable".

Another one complained because their files weren't automatically copied to a new laptop. All on the macOS desktop directory of course.

One of those wanted me to set up an Emacs config with org-mode, and write instructions on how to use it. Thankfully their manager "had words" with them and they gave up on their quest. They had never used Emacs before, and hated the command line.

Oh and the enormous "fun" we have dealing with the staunchly windows/microsoft only developer who has to use a Mac. You'd think they were being asked to shoot children they way they carried on.
