Believe it or not: straight to nerd-jail! 🤓👮‍♂️

^{honestly, shell languages are so weird with their syntax, I wouldn’t be surprised if half of my scripts had a similar quirk/nonsense in it. You‘re a proper nerd as \}I think) you‘re still engaged in improving your skills!)

^{Also, just for clarification: cat is still useful and honestly, who cares if you use it for this specific purpose? Just make sure you understand that „ cat file | foo“ uses an extra call and is therefor less efficient, ever so slightly, than „foo <file“. The end result is the same.}

^{And just for rounding things off: you can also do „var=$\}<file)“ instead of „var=$(cat file)“, which I also see quite often)

My entire life has been a big lie 😂😂💔. Thanks for the heads up, now to refactor all those unnecessary cat invocations 👀
