He did note that in the article. It's under 1). at the bottom as well.

Well, this is about his _own_ use no? So why not just use powershell in Linux? If it's good, tell us why. I actually am in the same boat. I spent a lot of time learning it, and I do know bash, but not as well. If there is a happy medium here, it's nice to hear your experience about that. Not just say 'well good luck convincing others'.

Right? I am personally using PowerShell on Linux, because syntax of Bash feels like a stupid joke to me.

See other comment on that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44697990#44698111

I’d prefer to invest in languages that are actually useful to my team. I want to eat my team’s dogfood so I can help them with issues.
