I coined a term for this because I see it so often.

“People will always defend complexity, stating that the only alternative is shell scripts”.

I saw people defending docker this way, ansible this way and most recently systemd this way.

Now we’re on to kubernetes.

>and most recently systemd this way.

To be fair, most people attacking systemd say they want to return to shell scripts.

		No, there are alternatives like runit and SMF that do not use shell scripts. Its conveniently ignored by systemd-supporters and the conversation always revolves around the fact that we used to use shell scripts. Despite the fact that there are sensible inits that predate systemd that did not use shell languages.

At least I never saw anyone arguing that the only alternative to git was shell scripts.

Wait. Wouldn't that be a good idea?
