> No grep-ing.

How is grep a bad thing? I find myself using it all the time.

I’m not into graphical user interfaces. They overwhelm me. By the time I’ve clicked myself through the GUI or written some horrible proprietary $COMPANY Query Language string, I might have already figured out the bug using tried and tested CLI tools.

Me neither. When I deal with structured logs, I use Structured Query Language, typically with ClickHouse or DuckDB which are CLI tools too.

grep is all right, but sometimes I need to tease out a complex data relationship.
