great. on top of yearly environment destruction via phones. now there are whole displays, batteries, keyboards and a ton of other special material just to fuel this greed carbon monster.

I am not ready to spend 1.5-2 hours getting tired in a commute every day. Waiting for an unreliable trainline. I haven't gotten flu or seasonal sickness since I started WFH. I have more time to spend with family. I cook for the family of 4. I have time to do hobbies. I have time to workout. I have time for leisure. I have time for housework. I am not tired all the time. My car is used for errands.

Have you tried lugging in a whole truckload of items on the train? A train/public transit works for work commute, but not for when need to get stuff done. Even in the densest city, I had a car for 10 years. Paid for parking and had a monthly active transit pass. Different things for different purposes. Not to mention, that I walked everywhere I can.

When you can hire someone on the cheap, it becomes a skills market. You get what you pay for.

This is how we slip

no thank you. i will vehemently fight this hivemind

I made this account to dispute this garbage.

No other shell or programming language comes close out of the box at the versatility that Bash has. I say this after having searched high and low for shell programming languages, maintaining big bash projects for a multiple organizations.

There are idiosyncracies to java, c, go and rust too. This monoculture of bash is bad is tiring. Paired with the monoculture of go is the new hotness. I rewrote at 500 line python project in 100 lines of bash for more functionality, but at a cost of more external dependencies but they are system deps with a standard abi without having to deal with python. APL has its strengths where Go/Rust is terrible.

Just use the correct tool for the job. And no more of this monoculture. Diverse problems need diverse solutions
