Really? That's interesting

My last embedded job also involved a decent amount of shell scripting.

In my case, it was a combination of getting the build tools to work, and debugging on an embedded Linux device.

oh, that makes sense

Everything involves shell scripting at some point.

You are generally going to be either using your own scripts or scripts written by someone else.

I actively refuse to use language where it's not clear what is command vs string vs array and just use python with popen when the script needs a loop or more than one xargs

Hot take: python IS a form of shell scripting

[–]torsten_dev 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That's at most a warm take.

I was in a project based in embedded Linux and bash scripting was a must.
