I've used various Unixes on the desktop for around 20 years, and now work as a systems engineer, mainly with Linux systems. Along the way I've picked up bit of shell script.
I am extremely fond of *nix systems, especially GNU + Linux (the combined OS). BASH lets me truly unlock my system's potential. As a student of BASH myself, I look to learn and share, so you can 'unlock' your system, too.
I love working in bash so much that I refuse to use DM's. When I want an open-box or i3 session I can choose to start X, but a computer that drops me straight into a tty just feels like home!
When you can remember a time when the only way to interact with a computer was via the CLI, you learn to love it and quite frankly I do love it. I have been using both bash style and zsh style shells on Mac and various Linux distros for almost a decade. Prior to my current career as a MEAN stack developer, I was an undergraduate professor of chemistry and gained a tremendous amount of experience with bash shell scripts to automate and run analytical chemistry based lab instrumentation. I love to learn form others and help others learn and would love to get you bash obsessed!
I don't know why I love Bash. It's arcane, and hard to read, and not intuitive. But I love it, because it gets things done and makes me feel like a wizard. And I want to help you love it too!
Over 6 years GNU/Linux & *BSD experience. Developed / Improved bash scripts for various automations. Used most of known services and scripted them with bash.
RHCE currently aiming for RHCA. I'm spending my best years in a console, so I know a thing or two about Linux :). Enjoy working for a small company where I automate the process of making Linux distro. Some folks call me DevOps.
