    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”.

      Python’s usually the better choice anyway tbf. I know piping isn’t as good, but there are so many footguns!

      Nushell and Fish can be really convenient too.

      I used to adhere to sh for an OpenBSD machine but I switched to python, Rust and Go for, even simple things.

        Python is just as portable these days (on modern hardware, caveats, caveats).

        Honestly so intuitive that I start there too unless I have a need for speed or distinct memory control. There’s no job too small for a python script.
