I always enjoy seeing what a good awk & sed user can achieve in bash.
However one of the not so good Devs I worked with used awk to load a large, deeply hierarchical JSON file. They refused to use a library to parse JSON. It was a many hundreds of line monstrosity.
Luckily when they left we were able to parse it in JQ instead .
