i am constantly surpurrised by the things people don’t know about how unix-like systems work

today @wallhackio learned that both sides in a pipeline run in parallel*. who the fuck expects them to opurrate in sequence?? maybe normal people i guess. (not that bumby is remotely normal but)

* purrocess scheduling is extremely more complicated than that, i know

i was complaining about how i once helped my ex write a script in fish and got snagged by fish running pipelines synchronously and did not even remotely expect that bumby would just expect a shell to work that way in the furst place

actually this is a callout post now. @wallhackio i KNOW you’ve read The UNIX Programming Environment so you have no excuse fur not knowing this

@aescling this really isn't fair. It's a large book that I have not read in great detail
