Do you mean 3 CLI formats? Like bash or fish or whatever?

Just to share, a funny question in an interview I had was: what are the 3 command you prefer? I remember having a smile, hesitating, and responding bash, ssh, and man.
I got the job. 6 months later I got that I have been the only one to smile (I like the domain) and respond basic commands without looking like a smart ass. Also, I have been able to respond 3 when half of the candidates couldn’t (with AI nowadays, it’s going to be ecen funnier).

erev@lemmy.world 1 month ago It seems they literally meant what commands are your favorite. Bash is a shell but it is just as much a command (
bash -c ‘wall poop’), and ssh and man are some of the most widely used commands on linux (if you end up working with LXC containers many of them do not come with manpages preinstalled. I highly recommend installing them if you’re going to spend any of amount of time on thr LXC)
cow@lemmy.world 1 month ago If so I wouldn’t have been able to resist saying vim as one of them.

W answer (although im considering moving to neovim due to vim using AI code)

I don’t know if I could pick three favourites like that. Grep, cat, ls probably.
I’m a software engineer though, I don’t have to use ssh on a daily basis for work (thanks to all the work devops people have done)
It was for a sys admin position, that I forced into a devops, and left to join an SRE team.
I use to play with SSH a lot as I also worked in ITSec 🤭
With AI nowadays, I re-use a lot my bash knowledge to check what it proposes to do.
