Writing a Bash builtin in C to parse INI configs
(mbuki-mvuki.org)
Shell languages such as Bash excel at certain tasks, such as gluing programs together or quickly automating a set of command line steps. In contrast to those strengths, using a Shell to parse an INI config file is a bit like writing a poem in mud, you might succeed, but the result will probably be inscrutable and your swear jar will be full!

How to add a directory to your PATH
(jvns.ca)
I was talking to a friend about how to add a directory to your PATH today. It’s something that feels “obvious” to me since I’ve been using the terminal for a long time, but when I searched for instructions for how to do it, I actually couldn’t find something that explained all of the steps – a lot of them just said “add this to ~/.bashrc”, but what if you’re not using bash?

Today I learned that bash has hashmaps (2024)
(xeiaso.net)
Hashmaps (associative arrays) are a great way to store a bag of key-value data. At work I was writing something that needed me to spawn a bunch of GPU instances, GPU availability is spread out by region and GPU type. I wanted to store a mapping of GPU kind to region name and for some reason I thought it would be a good idea to do it in bash.
