@jgsjames@universeodon.com @sashag oh yes! 10 line awk scripts can do the work of fancy ETL tools that cost thousands. Why have shell scripts fallen out of favor?

You know how when you do...

``` sh
my_cmd file_to_read > file_to_read
```

...then the redirect to write to the file truncates the file you're reading before you read from it?

Yeah, so do I. I learned that years ago.

I also refamiliarised myself with it today... 🤦

"Why is the file I'm reading from empty??" :t_blink:

When I write fragments of shell scripts in a Dockerfile or a GitHub Action my brain stops working :blobcatgoogly:
