More startups should realize that they could increase developer adoption of their products if also published shell script interfaces to their product. In fact, your startup should really start off as command line accessible and add the gui after.

I would argue that startups should always start at the API level and work upwards. At least that's what we did with AWS.
As much as I'd love this to be true, it is so wrong unless you are targeting other very technical users.
Most people I know (ie, potential customers) think anything in the command line is old/impossible to use/nerdy.
