First I've heard of "Taco Bell Programming"[1]. I love it, this needs to become a normal part of my lexicon. Also heck yes, it completely mirrors my experience - a few dozen tools combine in fairly simple ways to make absurdly useful results. The problem is finding the useful N-dozen elemental tools you'll use.

- john-radio 7y ago> I could have done the whole thing Taco Bell style if I had only manned up and broken out sed, but I pussied out and wrote some Python. And with one dumb word choice, I suddenly can't share this otherwise good piece with most audiences.
- homonculus1 7y agoSeriously? That's no harsher language than calling someone a dick. Do you have to keep an ultra-clinical PR image for some reason or are we really that puritanical?
- john-radio 7y agoThe networks that I belong to and benefit from are that "puritanical," if you want to choose a really stupid word for avoiding insulting half the population for no reason, yeah.
- fivefive55 7y agoThe website it's linked on is called widgetsandshit.com. I think that's a bigger problem if you're that worried.
- john-radio 7y agoNothing offensive about shit.
