Yeah I adopted it after exploring other languages after learning to program in Turbo Pascal 5. Bit later I started using it for mail and news (Gnus) and other things. It’s a life time tool that grows with you.

Of course you don’t have to switch, since you can brew install bash 5 or whatever the latest is and then chsh to it, but if you want to use it as an opportunity to change shells, consider checking out some of the newer interactive shells li

Well, we take a distributed approach where I work currently. Some of it is in an Excel or a Google Calc spreadsheet, some in Confluence, the project README.md, random Git comments. Sometimes we annotate the classes in the code with document

Unfortunately my first thought is to wonder if they’ll scrap it after I’ve invested some time into it.

I hand totally forgotten about that. Wasn’t it called dosfs? It put metadata in files that would show up in DOS when you rebooted.

On top of this I think there’s classical music, which none of then large streaming services get right, hence Primephonic and IDAGIO. Apple bought Primephonic so I wonder if they they intend to release an improved metatdata model with Apple
