It's tough to quantify the knowledge levels, but, I'd say that a practical understanding of bash loops, piping, grepping, and 'cut' ing text. Is a good start for basic dev work.
I've seen hours wasted writing jankey one off c++ utils, for lack of knowing that grep/awk exist.
Being able to tail a dev log and filter it for errors is also a part of seasoned developer competence too, I'd say.
- randomluck040 4y agoI wouldn’t call myself seasoned developer but tail (and grep) saved so much time during my masters thesis, I don’t even know how I’d checked for new entries in my log files other than using cat. When working with anything posting a log, I’m very grateful to know about tail.
