@popey I'm finally catching up to episode 25 and now Mark has me wondering what's wrong with scp? I know it's not rsync*, and I wouldn't use it for a very large bunch of files but it's certainly easy to copy a single file or a small set between machines where I have keys.
(Now watch someone come along and say "oh my god what an old head, she still uses rsync.")
@popey
"I have written code over the years. Starting with BASIC on the Sinclair ZX81 and Sinclair Spectrum, I wrote stuff for fun and no financial gain. I also coded in Z80 & 6502 assembler, taught myself Pascal on my Epson 8086 PC in 1990, then QuickBasic and years later, BlitzBasic, Lua (via LÖVE) and more.
In the workplace, I wrote some alarmingly complex utilities in Windows batch scripts and later Bash shell scripts on Linux. In a past career, I would write ABAP in SAP - which turned into an internal product mildly amusingly called “Alan’s Tool”."
You know more code than I do [my level is: zero. Never ever wrote code anywhere], so yes, you're a developer. If you know how to bake bread, and you do it for a living, you're a baker.
You develop; you're a developer. Congrats!
Anyway, In feel privileged because I kept the joy of coding by embracing creative coding and teaching introductory programming in a more playful & visual context :)
