I'm a developer who likes testing first, iterative processes, and refactoring, and I care about quality. I speak both C and Ruby with some facility, and enjoy both, which confuses some people.
Something systemd has made clear is the fact that Linux seems to be following that trend a bit, as well.
Hindsight shows us that having a C compiler and ready access to source code has become more and more rare in Linux distributions, for instance. The most popular Linux distributions have made it more and more difficult to get at a command line interface outside of the GUI, too. How do you manage network configuration these days? Is it with a GUI tool like NetworkManager? Sure, the stuff you need to get at the guts of the system is sometimes still there (under several layers of obfuscation and shiny paint), and when it's not you can generally get it, but it's getting more and more difficult.
I'm not saying we shouldn't have the user-friendly graphical user interfaces. I'm saying having them doesn't have to make access to the guts of the system harder, but that's the trend I see anyway.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
