I never knew how far it was possible to go in bash shell with the built-in tools until I saw the LLMs use them.


Possibly because most people who could mentor you, would give up and switch to their preference of {Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, ...} far earlier.

Spurred by macos switch to zsh, I've gone all in on zsh customization (with oh-my-zsh). But since I've moved to Linux, it's been bash daily (with a brief fish interlude). Everything under the sun works with bash.
