tar and find were written by the devil to make sysadmins even more miserable

find has quite a few pitfalls, that is very true. At work, we don’t even use it anymore in more complex scenarios but write Python scripts instead. find can be fast and efficient, but fewer and fewer people lack the knowledge to use it … The same goes for Shell scripting in general, actually.

Ask it to list the whole menu at restaurant 1: it hallucinates random meals, none of which they had (I ate there).
Restaurant 2 (the one most people go to, so they must have at least tested it with this one): it lists the soup of the day and ¾ meals available. Incomplete, but better than false.
Restaurant 3: it says “food” and gives a general description of food. You have to be fucking kidding me!

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Agreed, finding the right motivation can be tricky. You sometimes have to torture yourself in order to later then realize, yeah, that was actually totally worth it. It’s often hard.
I think if you find a project or goal in general that these kids want to achieve, that is the best and maybe only choice with a good chance of positive outcome. I don’t know, like building a price scraper, a weather station or whatever. Yeah, these are already too advanced if they never programmed, but you get the idea. If they have something they want to build for themselves for their private life, that can be a great motivator I’ve experienced. Or you could assign ‘em the task to build their own twtxt client if they don’t have any own suitable ideas. :-)
Showing them that you do a lot of your daily work in the shell can maybe also help to get them interested in text-based boring stuff. Or at least break the ice. Lead by example. The more I think about it, the more I believe this to be very important. That’s how I still learn and improve from my favorite workmate today in general. Which I’m very thankful of.
We’re all old farts. When we started, there weren’t a lot of options. But today? I’d be completely overwhelmed, I think.
Hence, I’d recommend to start programming with a console program. As for the language, not sure. But Python is probably a good choice
That’s what I usually do (when we have young people at work who never really programmed before), but it doesn’t really “hit” them. They’ve seen so much, crazy graphics, web pages, it’s all fancy. Just some text output is utterly boring these days. ☹️ And that’s my problem: I have no idea how I could possibly spark some interest in things like pointers or something “low-level” like that. And I truly believe that you need to understand things like pointers in order to program, in general.

It was the first time this year that we had half proper April weather and a thunderstorm in general. It started off with clear sky and lovely sunshine. Right after arvo lunch it started to rain, so we went into the hut. Then, the sun returned.
On the way back with the growling thunder in the distance coming closer and closer we escaped the rain just perfectly. A minute or two after we reached the car, wet stuff started coming down the sky. Not even half a minute after opening the front door, it poured like crazy. Lucky twice today. There’s beautiful sunshine again by now. It smells absolutely great after the rain. I love it!
