I’m referring to the sh.itjustworks instance. Which one would be it? Because I’m kind of confused…

“Yes”
Mostly both.
I’ve always read it as “shit just works”. Why would the “sh” be there if we weren’t supposed to read it?
No, it’s a comforting “sh” like “shhhhh”, don’t worry, it just works.
It’s only one h for the double entendre.
/joking
Some alternative , nerdy interpretations follow:
sh: it just works. You don’t needbash,zsh,fish,tcshor anything else, just runningshwill provide a shell environment.sh: IT just works. Similar to the previous interpretation, but also stating that IT (Information Technology, which is meant to mean the IT department) just works withsh.
#!/bin/sh/itjustworks
shhhh. it just works.
Imagine a greasy old IT technician coming up to you, putting a finger on your lips and gently saying that after you gasped about the entangled mess of hundreds of Ethernet cables in the server room
Probably the latter. I’ve seen it abbreviated as SJW, that’s unnecessary don’t do that. Am I old?
I dunno, sjw is a lot shorter than shit just works
Yeah but… SJW means something else lmfao
Shit, justice works.
Shit, Jehovah’s Witnesses
Savior, Jesus Wept
Why not s.j.w?
For starters, because .w is not a valid TLD, and j.w would be registered in about 50 milliseconds if it ever became one.
Hmmm. What if it’s because the admin was an old school Linux user and never took to bash. “sh. it just works”.
Sh! It just works.
It’s pronounced like it was something named in the universe of Dune: Zhid-Ghuwerst. You have to raise your eyebrows while you say it, as that’s part of the expression.
I always assumed that it was supposed to be ambiguous between them for humor purposes
Shhh… we don’t ask such things around here… it just works ™ that way…
sh. it’s plausible deniability 🤫
Why not both?
Shell it just works
It’s “S Hit Just Works” and it’s the slapping car meme.
The “S” is because the car salesman has a slight lisp.
Slaps Instance this bad boy just works.
Its:
“shhh… nothing is broken, ignore all the bugs and pretend it all just works, mm’kay?”
sh.itjust.works
Shhhhhhh… itjustworks
