I needed some scripts to run a little “factory” for flashing an operating system onto some IoT devices. Lots of the work was running various shell commands but it is nonetheless something I would have traditionally written in PHP or Python but I thought “what the hell” and did the whole thing in bash with ChatGPT and it was a totally mind blowing experience. Now I use bash for all sorts of stuff. I’ve been working with *nix for 20 years but bash is so arcane and my needs always so immediate that I never did anything other than use it to run commands in sequence with maybe a $1 or a $2 in there
