Yeah, after I remembered that `cut` exists shortly before needing to grab some fields of an input, I thought "oh, I'll use `cut` instead of `awk`". And lo and behold, `cut` couldn't do the thing I wanted. Why learn two tools when one will do? The only reason I can think of is the principle of least privilege, but if you can convince me it applies, I'll convince you should write a single tool that adheres to it instead of using countless tools for any given transform/privilege pair. |
