far as it reasonably goes. for most tasks, sh, find, grep, sed, and cut is more than enough. only when things become truly complex or painfully slow do i reach for another language.<br/><br/>i used to care a lot about strict portability, but in practice i only run my scripts on macos and #openbsd. that simplifies things: if shellcheck is happy, i&#39;m happy. i&#39;m 99% sure my scripts work on other unix-like systems, but i don&#39;t feel the need to check.<br/><br/>what really draws me to shell is that it&#39;s always there. it&#39;s part of the base system, requires no extra installation, and the runtime has been stable for decades. that stability translates directly into confidence: shell scripts feel future-proof.<br/><br/>i know i can run something like ssg.sh ten years from now and it will still work --- certainly on #openbsd, and hopefully on macos too. there&#39;s no dependency churn, no worrying about the &#34;right&#34; version of python or ruby, and no hoping the ecosystem hasn&#39;t moved on.<br/><br/>it just runs.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/> <img src="https://romanzolotarev.com/sh.png"> 2026-02-08T20:57:05Z
