    lul what? As a linux fanboy who "speaks unix" (presumably, do I? not sure...). I find it humorous that we have gone full circle. The newest tech shit is recommending I learn almost 50 year old technology? Time for me to log off.

      It's even worse, you can learn 2000+ years old math on Youtube.

      I know several teams and big org struggling to leverage AI agents. One of the easiest path is to use UNIX (e.g., your laptop + a shell). All the tools are available, shared between humans and agents, and compose infinitively.

      The point is exactly what you say: Not to have the latest tech product (e.g., grok bot, instinct, ...), but to just use powerful tools whose flexibility have been battle tested other the ages.
