"It wasn't built with the idea", but yet you can do that, because of the UNIX philosophy of chaining commands together. So I think if you're calling it a "hack", then you fundamentally disagree with the UNIX philosophy.
I mean, I have my issues with it, but I wouldn't go so far as to say that kind of command chaining is a "hack".

So I think if you're calling it a "hack", then you fundamentally disagree with the UNIX philosophy. I disagree with the fact that the unix philosophy hasn't been updated since the 70s and text parsing is still considered the height of chianing applications together. I call it a hack because that's exactly what it is.
