Comment on The productivity paradox of AI coding assistants
tal@lemmy.today 1 day agoAnd why Bash and not another shell?
I chose it for my example because I happen to use it. You could use another shell, sure.
Should we consider “throwaway” anything that supports interactive mode of your daily driver you chose in your default terminal prompt?
Interactive mode is a good case for throwaway code, but one-off scripts would also work.

If you want to actually realize the amount of possible misunderstanding in the current conversation and of what shell scriting is, please do consider joning #bash at Libera IRC. Since there’s literally no understanding on what you mean still, sorry.
For a very simple example, there are literally no documentation regarding certain cases you’ll encounter in Bash’s built-ins even, unless you encounter it or learn from its source code. Not to mention shenanigans of shell use for inter-process communication (IPC), file-descriptors, and pipes.
