  • Pretty much all languages are middleware, and most of the original code was shell/bash. All new employees in platform/devops want to immediately push their preferred language, they want java and rust environments. It’s a pretty safe bet if they insist on using a specific language; then they don’t know how awk or sed. Bash has all the tools you need, but good developers understand you write libraries for functionality that’s missing. Modern languages like Python have been widely adopted and has a friendlier onboarding and will save you time though.

    Saw this guy’s post in another thread, he’s strawmanning because of lack of knowledge.

  • The joke is that a person named Hans Duchtelstein was the previous timelines “Hitler” and after being successful Hitler just stepped in because fate is inevitable.

    Reverse: we time travel and kill Hitler, come to the present and Hans Duchtelstein takes Hitlers place but does the exact same thing.
