Yes and no. They serve roughly the same purpose.
I actually hated Powershell until I was forced to work on some automation scripts with it and realized that it’s actually pretty cool.
Bash is good for quickly doing something in the terminal but for longer script files I prefer PS now. It feels much more modern and has a less janky syntax.
Funnily enough the reason I had to use it was to make my scripts cross platform between osx, linux and windows.
that’s not even a joke, I’m using intellij community as a merge and diff tool exclusively. it doesn’t support the language I want but even without it it’s better then anything else.
Use both the latin x and the cyrillic х as variable names in the same scope. Your coworkers will thank you.
I was working on an enterprise web application, there was a legacy system that everyone hated and we replaced it with a more modern one.
We got a ticket from our PO to introduce a 30 sec delay to one of our buttons. It sounded insane, but he explained that L1 support got too many calls and emails where users thought said button was broken.
It wasn’t, they were just used to having to wait up to 5 minutes for it to finish doing its thing, so they didn’t notice when it did it instantly.
We gradually removed that delay, 10 seconds each month, and our users were very happy.
Also C# (or should I say the .net framework) is now cross platform, which wasn’t really the case when I first saw this meme.
This joke made sense when instead of .net you could only use Mono with C# on other platforms, which wasn’t very good at the time.
