minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish4•edit-25 months agoThe sad thing is that even chatgpt can’t program in bash. I just want a simple script and every single time it just doesn’t work. I always just end up saying “write this in python instead”.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink6•5 months agoPython’s usually the better choice anyway tbf. I know piping isn’t as good, but there are so many footguns!
