CLIs serving UIs
CLIs Serving UIs Countless times I’ve found myself shipping CLI tooling amongst teams or co-workers. The challenge of onboarding users to a new CLI is that there’s a whole new set of commands, subcommands, flags, and arguments for the user to work with. While my daily workflows are essentially built on CLIs, there’s no doubting that a UI can ease the on-ramp and usability of your tooling.
When I was working on Tanzu Community Edition at VMware, I saw first hand how successful a UI could be.
