I’m referring to the sh.itjustworks instance. Which one would be it? Because I’m kind of confused…
You must log in or # to comment.
I’ve always read it as “shit just works”. Why would the “sh” be there if we weren’t supposed to read it?
No, it’s a comforting “sh” like “shhhhh”, don’t worry, it just works.
It’s only one h for the double entendre.
/joking
Shell it just works
shhhh. it just works.
Imagine a greasy old IT technician coming up to you, putting a finger on your lips and gently saying that after you gasped about the entangled mess of hundreds of Ethernet cables in the server room
“Yes”
Some alternative , nerdy interpretations follow:
sh: it just works. You don’t needbash,zsh,fish,tcshor anything else, just runningshwill provide a shell environment.sh: IT just works. Similar to the previous interpretation, but also stating that IT (Information Technology, which is meant to mean the IT department) just works withsh.
#!/bin/sh/itjustworks
Shhhhhhh… itjustworks
Probably the latter. I’ve seen it abbreviated as SJW, that’s unnecessary don’t do that. Am I old?
I dunno, sjw is a lot shorter than shit just works
Yeah but… SJW means something else lmfao
Shit, justice works.
Shit, Jehovah’s Witnesses
Savior, Jesus Wept
Why not s.j.w?
For starters, because .w is not a valid TLD, and j.w would be registered in about 50 milliseconds if it ever became one.
Hmmm. What if it’s because the admin was an old school Linux user and never took to bash. “sh. it just works”.
I always assumed that it was supposed to be ambiguous between them for humor purposes
Shhh… we don’t ask such things around here… it just works ™ that way…
Why not both?
Its:
“shhh… nothing is broken, ignore all the bugs and pretend it all just works, mm’kay?”
sh.itjust.works
I always read it as
ess heych dot it just works
unacceptable
“it just works”
The “Sh” is silent…
or at least very quiet
Since DNS is hierarchical, it could be set up so that they both work.
