The entire contents of Merriam-Webster fail to adequately explain how little I care whether or not I can run my scripts on MINIX or AIX.

"The script you wrote last week for Debian no longer runs on Debian, but if you follow this guide, you can run it on an PDP-11!"

Yay..

If you wrote it for POSIX, you can be sure it’ll run today and continue to run unmodified for the next 50 years.

Software needs to be durable.
