autoexec.bat (credit: Adam Koford)
@stokes I wonder how many (or few) people still get that 

@atkelar @stokes I had the same reaction.

The second one was of course "Dear LORD, I'm getting old, there are a great deal of ADULTS that have no idea what a .bat file is" 😭

@nanianmichaels @atkelar @stokes About a decade ago I switched to .sh

It's better ❤️

@utopify_org @nanianmichaels @stokes certainly; but with my background in C#, I went for PowerShell in 2006; it runs on Linux now too, so I'm set. 

@utopify_org @atkelar @stokes I've been on Windows my whole life, so I still can't deal with Linux scripting. Too many differences, plus it's much closer to real programming (which I know nothing about).

Hopefully I'll be able to learn more as time goes by, because I've recently migrated to a Linux-only household. The only remaining machine is the Steam gaming server.

@nanianmichaels @utopify_org @stokes whatever true script I need, I write in PowerShell; and the few lines that need shell scripting, I google-cut-and-paste mostly. No sane person would willingly develop that case sensitive jumble of options that are *ix tools; I am willing to bet that it came to that because of "per byte storage billing" back when it was new. The linux idea of tab-completion sucks though.
@atkelar @nanianmichaels @stokes Never heard someone say that tab-completion sucks. It's the most efficient thing in the terminal. But okay, I use zsh for ages and not bash anymore.
@utopify_org @nanianmichaels @stokes what irks me to no end is that tab just shows the options instead of cycling through them. I miss that detail.
@atkelar @nanianmichaels @stokes You should really try zsh one day. It's so much fun!
