oh hey i got an idea for a blog post
and i already had to rewrite 2/3 of the notes that led to the blog post idea because i found a lower-friction way to do the thing
Attention wandered for a bit, but I got code that does the thing and an only slightly sketchy story. Next I ponder how much to clean up the code and how much to fill out the story.
@randomgeek may I request a oneliner in #bash just for comparison?
@petrisch you could request, but I wouldn’t deliver. I’d need to brush up on my curl, jq, and other such extra tools. Nushell is very much batteries included.
@randomgeek thats why I was asking ;-). This reads just like english, love it.
btw jq is cheating :-D
@petrisch BTW I was rushing through because caffeine, but if you were to run this or something like it, insert is the best command for adding a column, not upsert.
@randomgeek true, upsert means "update if it exists, or insert if it doesn't" right?
Shouldn't make a difference here though.
@petrisch Just aesthetic and clarity points, which I tend to weigh disproportionately high.
@petrisch pfft "cheating"
the only fair fight is the one you win
