I’m outing myself here, but a computer programming class in college has forcibly thrust all two dozen of us, none of us ever touched a Linux machine in our lives prior to that point, into using vi.
And all using the command-line from boot-up.
Cue hilarity as we spent a good hour or so trying to fumble our way into creating our first C program. Made some friends that day though, so I guess that was the intent? Camaraderie through shared suffering?
