Remember when AWK was actually used for text processing instead of just being that weird command in Stack Overflow answers? The existential crisis is real. This poor utility is having a mid-career breakdown after realizing its entire existence has been reduced to "print columns" by junior devs who have no idea about its pattern scanning and processing language capabilities. Like finding out your PhD is only being used to open beer bottles. The robot's face at the end is every senior engineer watching new grads discover grep for the first time.
