I had the same reaction.

It would be like telling someone who has been using an IDE: did you know you can compile your code from the command line? And having that person genuinely be blown away.

would it blow your mind to know that the vast majority of .net devs I've ever worked with don't know anything about compiling or running a project/solution other than hitting that big green 'play' button in visual studio?

Except instead of being something cool like "diet coke and mentos" this is something basic that webdevs should be familiar with.

Software development sure has come a long way, now we can change what the screen shows when you click a button!

We are getting trolled so hard. Some people are really in awe over this. Including the blogger.

Yeah I don't know what just happened. I came to the comments to see if I was missing something but no, that's it. Weird.
