First of all, I should have clarifed that "I had a couple of issues" means I had to fix some broken computers where that had happened.
Secondly, you just said you wanted "A single person actually who had trouble with these rules". I presented you with such a person (indirectly).
While it isn't dangerous, it was annoying, because it took some time to figure out why various tools where no longer working correctly.
To be honest, you seem to be getting surprisingly angry that there at people who might want to use this shiny thing called github, on which many projects they use might reside, without fulling understanding every detail of git, ssh, etc.
I know some mathematicans who can write amazing algorithms, who I would want involved in projects I work on. However, they use windows and don't really care about the finer workings of unix. Personally, I think it's good if such people has the easiest access possible to making a quick push request, on their own machine in their comfort zone.
I'm angry at willful ignorance and attempts to justify it.
I truly, TRULY have no problem with making key generation push-button. I really don't. I have a very BIG problem with people who don't understand it pushing that button.
But you're right, I give up. All I can do is ensure that these people who demand of themselves nothing but the most disgusting of human characteristics -- willful ignorance -- do not come anywhere near my systems or projects.
First of all, thanks for answering my question so clearly. However, I feel the need to make a reply, despite the fact I think we have reached an impasse (not saying that is your fault, just a difference of opinion). I just feel you are really expressing yourself in an insulting way (you consider it a most disgusting of human characteristics that someone might just not care to learn about how ssh keys are generated)?
It's isn't "wilful ignorance" to not try and learn everything, ever, about everything. Particularly things which you don't want to learn, and probably aren't going to help you. We all specialise to one degree or another. I work with mathematicians who have spent years learning and refining their craft, who certainly know more maths than I could ever learn. I accept that there are things they know, and things I know. I want them to continue doing amazing maths, so I don't want to pile on them a bunch of things they don't want to learn. Despite the fact I did a maths degree, I know there are things they commonly discuss I don't really understand, which would be their equivalent of ssh keys. Things everyone knows. I've learnt some of them for work. I've learnt some of them for fun. But I don't have the time to learn all of them, and that's fine.
Now, these people do still learn. They learn about all kinds of fields, and all kinds of areas. They learnt CVS, but they didn't enjoy it.
Also, I find it very productive, and fun, to work with people whose skill sets are almost entirely disjoint from mine. It does make working together a bit tricky, but some of my most productive times have risen from such situations.
