Honestly this looks like a perfect way to make both python and bash more complex in a single move

I create proper libraries. I don’t do snippets because they make code dirty, redundant and difficult to read on the long run.

I actively discourage people in my team to use snippets copy and pasted everywhere themselves. If it’s reusable code, it should be usable by everyone and well tested

This was my immediate reaction as well.

For those who like living a messy life, there’s always Visual Studio (the original beast, not VSCode)

VSCode supports it also for other shells. This repo is not about vscode, it’s about actual shells. You are the one incorrect in this case

When someone brings points in the discussion, you react like a fan boy student that just bought the new gaming laptop.

Could you please reply about the discussion or go back to school? I am too old for your “no, you shit, you stoopid”

I wonder myself why I keep answering to your comments and that’s why this is my last comment

Unfortunately… That is why I commented above…

Powershell is a shell that pretends to be an OO language and that fails dramatically at both.

It was a design mistake. Much better having a real separation, a real shell and a real OO language. As even Microsoft has recently understood. As you can see also in this case, where Powershell is the last entry

What is a real advantage compared to plain autocomplete? Was it trained to know command flags?

It is anyway nice to see that even in Microsoft the abomination of Powershell is the lowest in the list of shells. It is probably time for them to drop it completely

ML/AI is a huge field. If you don’t like 1 side of it, there are millions others.

ML/AI. Everything else has been eaten by agile/product owners/MBAs/micromanagement. Luckily those people still don’t understand AI… And AI is still stochastic, pi planning and burnout charts don’t work.

If agile bites your ass… Run away, you are too young for wasting your life

All scientific computing is built on top of fortran. Even cutting edge AI runs on top of high performance libraries written in fortran and c. Simply there is less need for fortran developers because high performance subroutines are wrapped to be called by higher level languages, such as python

First time I see “cool” and “c#” on the same sentence. I’ve always thought stereotype of c# is that it is the language for corporate, extremely uncool projects.

Just a comment. Cobol nowadays is heavily outsourced. There are jobs but not so lucrative as in the past. Fortran is still strong in scientific computing, but nowadays it is wrapped in python. All people I know who were strong in fortran (me included) are nowadays mostly working with python or scala, most of us on ML/AI related stuff.

I unfortunately have to deal with it daily at work… With a premium laptop that cost thousands, and it is extremely less performant than much smaller and older machines with linux (I use linux at work as well).

I am not saying anything controversial. It is literally the reason why windows professionally is used for accountants, but it is practically never used for tasks that require performances, reliability, stability and long term maintainability.

Most casual users live with these issues, many move to mac, few move to linux. Victims of corporate IT like me must justify the budget to avoid the standard laptop and get the overpriced piece of extremely powerful hardware to have a daily experience slightly better than a raspberry pi running on respbian. Because outlook…

There no real control of what and how you installed stuff. This create long term issues. This is why you perform registry clean up. But it is not enough, because of orphaned and conflicting dlls, inconsistent installation paths, conflicting versions. You probably don’t see just because you are used to the issues and you think that’s how things work.

If you install a better os, everything is accurately and centrally managed, making maintenance much more easy. Problem is with closed sourced software and drivers, because they break the normal processes of installation and maintenance, creating similar issues as in windows (not as bad because the os is better engineered)…

The problem is maintaining the os. Installing the drivers on windows is usually fine. Maintaining them is frustrating, because of how updates has to be done, and the dirty uninstall process, and the issues.

On many Linux distro it doesn’t work perfectly, but maintenance is so trivial that people become used to it. And going back to a high maintenance OS is annoying. Like going back from a modern EV to ford model T. Some people like the experience of going back in time to the mid 90s with Windows, other prefer the simplicity of maintaining a Linux OS
