People who get up in arms about "useless" uses of cat need to chill out. I read my pipelines left to right. Using a '<' redirection to pull the data in after the command means I have to swap my reading direction back and forth, and why bother with that? I have better things to do with my brain energy.
- bloppe 2y agoAs others have mentioned, you can put `<` anywhere in the command, including at the very beginning. But, I agree that getting up in arms about this is really dumb.
