Toot

Written by Ian Wagner on 2025-01-20 at 06:36

I have what I think is a somewhat contrarian view among programmers: the CLI is NOT the world's best interface for most things. It CAN be efficient with decades of practice (which I have). But for all the dogma of CLIs just being "better," I still haven't found a sane way to curl a URL with Korean text in the query string. I have to encode the URL first! This is UX, and is solved in nearly every GUI.

Text may be the "universal API" but all that means is that it's the lowest common denominator.
