My interpretation of the picture is that not being a developer, IOW not being an expert, means to be a clueless women. And "clueless woman" is tautological. It's sexism. It's trivial to _program_ a digital video recorder to automatically record a television programme, but it's not trivial to translate data into _code_. In the end it's not that important for this thread, so back to the topic: Important is that UNIX alike operating systems have got a login shell that is useful for an admin, poweruser and even for the clueless user to customize the machine, to the user's (operator's) needs. So starting with writing scripts is essential, starting with learning how to maintain a port is grotesque. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/scripter Using and customizing/optimizing a computer neither requires programmer nor coder skills. Most could be done by using existing software and writing shell scripts. Even a disgusting bad written shell script could do the wanted job. Scripts are portable. A newbie could start with FreeBSD and stay with FreeBSD or migrate to another UNIX alike operating system. Getting used to man(ual) pages is very useful. Learning how to use a terminal emulation is very useful.
