Look How They Massacred My AWK
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.

Make Bash Great Again
The political satire meets shell scripting in this masterpiece! The joke plays on the Bash command set -eu , which enables strict error handling in scripts (exit on error and treat unset variables as errors). But why use sensible error handling when you can have PATRIOTIC error handling? Clearly, any self-respecting American bash script should use set -USA instead! Because nothing says "robust programming practices" like injecting nationalism into your command flags. Next up: replacing grep with freedom-search and sudo with executive-order .

Pretty Straight Forward
Ah yes, C programming at its finest—writing a C program whose sole purpose is to create and execute a bash script. Because why use one language when you can use two? This developer is basically using a nuclear submarine to cross a puddle. The irony is delicious. The code claims "Programming in C is easy" while demonstrating the most convoluted way possible to print "hello world"—by having C generate a bash script with execute permissions, which then prints the message. It's like building a machine that builds a machine that ties your shoelaces. Four system calls when a single printf would do. This is the programming equivalent of taking a flight from New York to Boston with a layover in Tokyo.

Oh look, another Bash victim! While "riding a bike" sticks with you forever, Bash scripting is that special hell where your muscle memory means absolutely nothing. You'll spend 20 minutes Googling how to write a basic for loop for the 500th time, wondering why the syntax looks like it was designed by someone smashing random keys. And don't get me started on those cryptic one-liners that work perfectly until you add a space somewhere and suddenly your script is formatting your hard drive. It's the programming equivalent of assembling IKEA furniture with instructions written in hieroglyphics... while blindfolded.

Also Git
Jumping into DevOps without Linux fundamentals is like trying to swallow those giant horse pills without water. Trust me, I've watched countless "Docker experts" crash and burn because they couldn't troubleshoot a basic shell script. The title "Also Git" is perfect - because Git is another one of those deceptively simple tools that will absolutely wreck your week when something goes wrong. Nothing quite like the cold sweat of a botched rebase on production code at 2AM. Been there, broken that.
