Perhaps he should try to explain the rich history of this "command-line bullshittery". It was the original OOP, before anyone articulated it. Encapsulating functionality into small, easily understandable programs that could be chained together was an amazing breakthrough in software engineering at the time. If you look at old Unix sources, the source code for many utilities was only a few hundred lines at most. Essentially the size of what we would consider a "class" today.
Whenever I'm getting frustrated with this stuff I try to step back and realize that we're all standing on the shoulders of giants. It would not be possible to do all this grand whiteboarding were it not for all the work done before us to make it possible. We'd still be grappling with how to wire together transistors and magnetic core memory.
