  • For anyone coming later, I’d actually add a section between where you explain commands for the first time and where you explain their flags or at minimum directly after the flag section. The section should explain how commands are found, how the PATH works and where the majority of binaries on a Linux system are located. Knowing that will allow a reader to immediately understand how simple a shell is and how people are always able to write their own scripts for stuff.






  • Holy shit. That is terrible.

    But it doesn’t really matter how bad it is, if you asked them to do something and they ignored it that’s inexcusable unless it’s illegal or breaking code. Doesn’t matter if you asked them to use a fucking 30” old growth log.

    I don’t know what common practice is regarding that adjustable support. We have one similar that’s holding up our entire basement ceiling lol, but it looks like it was built that way with the house. Doesn’t look good but I’m guessing it’s fine.













  • There is functionally no benefit to using bash and there hasn’t been for over a decade. Even macOS transitioned to the default shell being zsh. In terms of user friendliness, fish outcompetes zsh and bash handily. The only other shell I’ve heard ‘beats’ fish is nushell. But I’ll never go back to zsh or bash. Needing to drop into bash to run a script can always be done if you need it, but your scripts will be easier to read in fish.
