When I was finishing of my degree at Uni I actually spent a couple of months as an auxiliary teacher giving professional training in Unix, which included teaching people shell script.

Nowadays (granted, almost 3 decades later), I remember almost nothing of shell scripting, even though I've stayed on the Technical Career Track doing mostly Programming since.

So that joke is very much me irl.

Any no-SQL syntax for interacting with databases.

Me with powershell. I'll write a pretty complex script, not write powershell for 3 months, come back and have to completely relearn it.

The sad thing is that even chatgpt can't program in bash. I just want a simple script and every single time it just doesn't work. I always just end up saying "write this in python instead".

It seems like it does stuff differently for the sake of it being different.

The older you get, the more things are like programming in bash.

Bash substitution is regex-level wizardry.

Slapping a $ before an environment variable name is "wizardry?"

[–] T156@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Not quite that, but more the ${variable##.*} sort of thing.

Je comprend tellement! Je répond en français pour ma première réponse sur Lemmy juste pour voir comment ça va être géré!

[–] Pixelbeard@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

I so understand! Answering I. French for my first Lemmy reply just to see how it’s handled.

Realizing now that language selection is mainly for people filtering. It be cool if it auto translated for people that need it.
