hey @vaporeon_ how frequently do you write shell scripts?
@aescling Occassionally
Why asking, do you need help with shell scripting? I can try, even though I'm the least competent computer programmer ever
@vaporeon_ really it’s a set up to a follow up question, which is, has vaporeon ever heard of execline? i wonder if its ideas might be up your alley
i ask because even though i don’t use execline much at all these days i found the purrocess of learning how to use it really instructive fur gaining a more intuitive understanding of unix purrocesses
@vaporeon_ the logic of my web server that does not have to deal with networking or TLS is all written in execline. there is zero compelling technical reason to do that but it was fun to abuse the language to pull that off
@aescling Remind me when I've gotten some sleep... My brain is still super tired from the lack of sleep and the ZFS stuff and the kernel compilation and the fact that I've been sitting at this homework all day and I'm still not done...
