Things That Went Wrong Last Time

[fakefred]

Really excited to hear y'all are doing this once again. Just a heads up from the guy who did it last time. As you know already, it was a WeChat disaster, and I'm glad you did it right this time.

Other things I would do to improve the lecture:

• Kick out the parts on sed and capturing groups (too time consuming, unless you make it part 3)
• Recap part 1 at the beginning of part 2
• Forewarn the danger of getting trapped in vim (rookie mistake) and how to :wq
• Test the scripts on macOS
• Before instructing audience to type a command, tell them where they should cd into
• Emphasize the difference between literals, variables and files:
  • var and $var
  • echo $str and cat file
  • echo $str | COMMAND and COMMAND $str

For everything, read bash workshop on my blog.

Other things worth mentioning:

• I'm cool with y'all reusing the slides I wrote, but since you made a fresh repo instead of cloning mine, per the CC BY-SA license I would appreciate if you included a link to my repo
• Feel free to fix the slides as you see fit
• I'll be there Sunday but no pressure
• I forgot where I stored my remaining copies of cheatsheets. You'll have to print your own found it I have like 13 copies you can print more if you wish
