/bin/true is the Sun Tzu of POSIX commands. It does nothing and succeeds.

hot take: the implementation complexity of POSIX semantics contributed to the decline of "files", and this has been bad for user freedom

The command isn't always the problem. Learn why Linux commands behave differently on macOS and how GNU, BSD, POSIX, SIP, and TCC affect your terminal and shell scripts.

Excellent bit
Given all the low-quality LLM-generated projects flooding r/commandline, it's valuable to know that POSIX provides a tool to review and modify code generated by LLMs, so I thought I'd bring this tool to the attention of this subreddit's members. In typical Unix fashion, the POSIX folks shortened "reviewing & modifying" to just two letters: $ rm code.rs It even has command-line options to recursively fix whole project-directories of LLM-generated code: $ rm -rf project/ Handle it wisely, and I hope to see more use of it around here!

Windows is so miserable to develop for I've no idea how people can say this is better than anything else

i should not have to ifdef _WIN32 so many times in one project just because a certain somepony at microsoft decided that conforming to POSIX was cringe

Man I'm so fucking upset. The developer I admired my entire career, the creator of the most fucking used POSIX system fucking hates me for the things I have 0 control over fml

The year is 2030. Everything is systemd. /bin/sh is now a symlink to systemd-posix-compat. You boot your kernel and it immediately execs into systemd. There is no userspace. There is only systemd.

also not sure if this implication was intentional but it being on ARM has nothing to do with POSIX

Fully posix-certified!

I'm always surprised when someone who loves linux hates mac.

Maybe more important is the BSD (FreeBSD) layer macOS is built around, which means most of the POSIX APIs just work, and I can keep using the same command line tools and workflows from my Linux days.

Apple building Darwin to be mostly POSIX-ish remains one of the greatest decisions in the history of the software industry.
