Of course. It's distributed.

Just like that place that's so crowded nobody goes there anymore.

That doesn't explain the "punctuating with multiple cryface emojis".

Lies, Damned lies, and Unreasonable Effectiveness For Fun and Profit

Lies, Damned Lies, and Unreasonable Effectiveness: How Lies in Titles are Damn Near Unreasonably Effective

Example of replacing grep+cut with a single awk invokation:

    $ echo token:abc:def | grep -E ^token | cut -d: -f2
    abc
    
    $ echo token:abc:def | awk -F: '/^token/ { print $2 }'
    abc

Conditions don't have to be regular expressions. For example:

    $ echo $CSV
    foo:24
    bar:15
    baz:49
    
    $ echo $CSV | awk -F: '$2 > 20 { print $1 }'
    foo
    baz

I use dtrx, which also ensures that all files are extracted into a folder.

Python also pretty-prints out of the box:

    $ echo '{ "hello": "world" }' | python3 -m json.tool
    {
        "hello": "world"
    }

> I have always wondered what would happen if someone had to invent spreadsheets from scratch, today.

This is exactly what Joel Spolsky did:

> What was I talking about? Oh yeah… most people just used Excel to make lists. Suddenly we understood why Lotus Improv, which was this fancy futuristic spreadsheet that was going to make Excel obsolete, had failed completely: because it was great at calculations, but terrible at creating tables, and everyone was using Excel for tables, not calculations.

... so he went on and created Trello.

Reminds me when Scala was translated to German some time ago, at about the same time of the year:

Since no other pedants have chimed in yet, I'm required to point out that 20 years is five olympiads, which is the timespan in between six Olympic games.
