The abysmal state of GNU/Linux is exactly why I moved to OpenBSD many years back. It's small, simple and very stable.

The BSDs are definitely not for everyone, and they come with their own set of tradeoffs. However, it is safe to say that all BSDs are better today than 10 years ago. Small and steady improvements over time.

I love how, in the last few years, open source infrastructure has become more of a thing.

We're using this Philips Labs module at $dayjob. It's a great piece of work!

POSIX shells does indeed have many problems, including lack of data types and various security limitations. I like the point OP is making that shells should focus on being interactive, but not so scriptable.

For scripting, it's better to resort to a simpler solution that doesn't even need complexities like parsing or data types. In a Unix environment all you need is the ability to compose commands together. This is what execline is for:

senzilla commented on Ask HN: Is it possible to have a structured work day in software dev?    · Posted by u/vcool07

It is absolutely possible. Where I work, developers have no more than 4-6 hours of meetings per week!

We do meandering sync calls[1] for 1 hour, four times a week. Plus a weekly demo call.

It's a matter of how much your management cares about developer experience and efficiency. Get another job :)

A classless CSS framework that makes content look like it would have in the very first web browser – the Nexus browser.
