fcurella··on A Tale of Two Zippers
Reminded me of when I used to work at a zipper factory, doing exactly that job.
fcurella··on GIT is the new FTP
I've been following this http://toroid.org/ams/git-website-howto for several years now.
fcurella··on Improving the UX of (command-line) tools
I think there is much more that can be done to make tools more user-friendly.

An example that pops to my mind is when you misspell a git command, and git suggest what you could've intended:

    $ git pill
    git: 'pill' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

    Did you mean this?
        pull
That's already one step towards a better UI, but it could go even one step further if I could answer the question, ie: I press 'y' and git will pull.

Of course I'm not criticizing GIT (which I think as a better UI than many tools already), it's just an example.
