>There is something deeply disturbing in it that makes me feel I'm not talking to a self sufficient entity.

It makes you feel that way because it is that way. They're not self-sufficient.

I still can't wrap my head around how people find their files in the non-filesystem world. Whenever I need to work with files I take out my laptop.

Even before mo lies people would say “I saved it in word”. Even if it was written to a floppy or usb drive.

They didn’t have the concept of files

The average computer user in 2000 was far more computer literate than the average one in 2010, and things have gone downhill ever since.

So it's not just me. I'm glad, I feel weird that I have to save links to every Google doc and every internal confluence page because there's no proper search across these.

Especially in a filesystem I know where I placed something, but not always the title, so even if the search function was ok, which it mostly isn't, having to know the wording used for the title is really inconvenient.

Jagged Alliance 2 wasn't really as much a stealth game but had a lot of the same kind of tactical thinking to it that I liked in Commandos.

Yes I finished that. Too. I played through 3 and some mods and Unfinished Business.

>so heavily RL'd with grep

At least codex listens to me telling it to use rg instead of grep, cause grep is often so slow. But when adding rtk it uses grep through rtk which is kind of annoying.

Also the question remains if more CVE laden code was produced in the first place, instead of automated detection improvements.

It's easier to find a needle in the haystack if the haystack is 50% needles.

have the AI vibe code crappy apps so the related AI vuln finder can fix them

just doubled the value and use cases of your AI solution!

They've been doing that for a long while.

Publish something to Github in a public repo? It pulls it, scans it, and reports!

>teaching functional programming to people trained in OO: Some people's model just breaks, while others quickly see the similarities, and how one can translate from a world of vars to a world of monads with relative ease.

Besides OO -> Functional this applies everywhere else in Computer Science. If you understood the fundamentals no new framework, language or paradigm can shock you. The similarities are clear once you have a fitting world model.

What were your syntax stumbling blocks? I must be honest I've used jq enough but can never remember the syntax. It's one of the worst things about jq IMO (not the speed, even though I'm a fan of speedups). There's something ungrokkable about that syntax for me.

Just the basic things, like viewing the complete json (with syntax highlighting) to then determine the filter, that is '.' becomes '**'

Replying here because the other comment is too deeply nested to reply.

Even if it's once off, some people handle a lot of once-offs, that's exactly where you need good CLI tooling to support it.

Sure jq isn't exactly super slow, but I also have avoided it in pipelines where I just need faster throughput.

rg was insanely useful in a project I once got where they had about 5GB of source files, a lot of them auto-generated. And you needed to find stuff in there. People were using Notepad++ and waiting minutes for a query to find something in the haystack. rg returned results in seconds.

You make some good points. I've worked in support before, so I shouldn't have discounted how frequent "once-offs" can be.

In Germany I'd say you still make more with white collar, if you have a job. The problem for Gen Z though, is that they aren't hiring for junior positions.

Still if you go blue collar you have to build your own business.
