 I don't know what it does yet T.T
 
 it's Lua, not C
 
 what's the message? maybe I can help, I'm much better at bash than... actually
 I'm not very good at bash, but only the cool kids are.

 hehe if I don't understand how it works it's difficult for me to use things.
 My Linux friends get so exasperated with me because I'm like "cool script
 gimme like 2 days to figure it out" and they're like "bro just use these
 flags" and I'm like "no"

 This was the first bash script I ever wrote.
 
 It's been updated a little, it was a bash alias first, but this is what it
 looks like now.
 
 Kinda shows what kinds of problems I needed to solve most.
A bash script that plays a random episode of Adventure Time from a terminal.

 I wonder if anyone would pay me to write bash scripts for them? is there a
 role that's just... bash scripter? is that what sysadmins do all day? or is
 that more automation? and what the heck is a dev op? do they write bash
 scripts?
 
 or maybe writing bash scripts is the "fun" part of linux, and nobody would pay
 anyone else to do it because they want to do it themselves

 I really do believe that you can write any computer program you'd like with a
 combination of Lua, Bash, and C.
 
 Bash to start the program and enable updates / configuration, Lua to handle
 the scripting and ordering of events, and C (or Rust) to execute performance
 intensive sections. (often in their own threads)

 the neat thing about BASH is that it's the glue that holds all your other code
 together. Write libraries in C and call them with BASH - accomplish broader
 tasks that are easier to co-create. That's why I like it - it's not the most
 important, but it's quite beneficial I think _^
