Beginner unfriendly list command #15

Open wly99 opened 3 years ago

wly99 commented 3 years ago

Beginners are told to learn more parameters about the list command, but more experienced users are told it is optional, shouldn't it be the other way around? is it much easier for the beginners if we just list out everything for them and give advanced users the choice to filter based on certain conditions?

Team's Response

Based on our experience with the CELC teachers, we are told that the concept of optional parameters is very confusing for someone with no programming background. E.g. Training wheels are optional too but they are necessary for beginners.

Team chose [response.Rejected]

Reason for disagreement: with design issues, it could go both ways. also there is a way of circumventing this by just presenting one option which is just list, don't need to show that there are optional inputs
