I got cobol fingers reading that

A common PowerShell complaint, personally I find PowerShell usually takes less keystrokes because the tab completion is flawless.

Hardly makes sense as complaint when nowadays folks are writing book sized prompts to AI agents.

  • Book sized prompts are equally poor for interactive use, they're typically reused and iterated upon. They're more like scripts than commands.

    • So a markdown file then, still much more letters than a common COBOL source file.
