Principle of least permission. I’m a dev and I still have to ask for temporary permission to even access customer infrastructure to solve production issues. Why should you need access to deployment infrastructure? I would deny you too, especially if your need could be solved by a local install of git.

You’re making Lemmy a great place to be.

Yes, this is cool, but imagine if you will the octopus, evolving intelligence from inside phylum mollusca, whose common ancestor with us (and all chordates) is an ancient worm.

Their brains might as well be alien compared to chordate intelligence.

It’s great that you cherish that. Love that for you.

Yea I come from the generation of reddit departures that left because of API lockdown and elimination of third party apps. Nowadays a lot of people join Lemmy because they got banned off of reddit for reasons of varying respectability. I would say it’s diluting the concentration of tech intel, as you say. Oh well.

That’s fair! I’ve always seen this community as an environment for advocating Linux use to Lemmings and much of the time the memes are comparative in nature to other options (ex the current to meme in this community about vendor lock in) so I’m just injecting my own historical view about this community. If it’s not comparative; then why is it really that funny? In that case it just reads like an exam in a CIS final.

I could imagine a command like this being used as part of a CI/CD script doing static analysis in a virtualized environment where the build is running in a *nix container. There’s more maintainable options as well (ie easier for an entire team of developers to understand / lower ‘bus factor’).

Lol why are you getting downvoted this isn’t even a hot take. You are 100% right regex is famously enigmatic even among experienced software engineers.

I some beef with this meme in that there really isn’t a way to simply do this in windows. If anything, it demonstrates the upper level of capability and function using a cli shell. People who are looking for a windows replacement would never need to understand this command or even use a pipe / regex as they were unlikely to have been doing this kind of thing with windows anyway.
