This reminds me of a relatively early Real Life Comics, wherein a character is introduced to Linux and, shortly thereafter, is seen to be building Beowulf clusters.

Over the last ten - fifteen years, I’ve written lots of scripts for production in bash. They’ve all served their purposes (after thorough testing) and not failed. Pretty sure one of my oldest (and biggest) is called temporary_fixes.sh and is still in use today. Another one (admittedly not in production) was partially responsible for getting me my current job, I guess because the interviewers wanted to see what kind of person would solve a coding challenge in bash.

However, I would generally agree that - while bash is good for many things and perhaps even “good enough” - any moderately complex problem is probably better solved using a different language.

Where?

Also valid!

What is RIP EB?

Pretty sure I’ve never seen anyone else use the phrase “couched it” in this context. Well done.

I saw Google do this before I saw Microsoft do it.

So, obviously, Google is the hero and without flaw.

While you’re not wrong, it seems like you could have shortened your post to just the first three words.

Generally, it seems that subways are underground, so that makes sense.

An erstwhile co-worker would say “a low bar to stumble over.”

What an interesting linking strategy.

Also, I have to assume you’re Jerry Smith.

Username …

… Nevermind.

Your comment makes me think of P versus NP.

Good luck! I’d be thrilled to know what you think.

That was perfect!

This was my introduction to him!

I first saw him in Hell on Wheels.

In case you’re not already a fan, I bet you’d like Robwords.

Non-Blue Beetle.

You’re doing it wrong.

Someone with a username referencing Red Dwarf posts. Someone responds referencing Adventure Time. I didn’t really get lemmy when I started way back when, but now I know it’s the place for me.
