@hynek @simon to be fair, bash is probably the most poorly documented programming language in existence.

@coderanger @simon I was gonna quip that Bash is a prime example where ChatGPT is a bad choice because 99% of Bash scripts out there are dangerous, hot garbage.

@hynek @simon long ago I worked on an install script that had to work on a half dozen different unixes. It started with a comment like “if you are under 30, please consult an old person before trying any optimizations here”. Because bash on aix vs linux vs macos was such a mess.
