Shell scripting

Does AmigaDOS count as shell scripting? If so I’ve been doing shell scripts since ‘93. If not then probably 99 or so when I did c in XENIX.

After Windows Vista drove me to Linux I became okay at it, then proficient by doing it daily in Dockerfiles during the DevOps revolution. More recently, adopting a modular approach with a bit of help from ChatGPT and Claude, I’m actually writing real programs in sh and bash, using function libraries that are merged together when building a release.
