Comment on When did the world change to the so called hashtag? When I was younger it was only the pound sign. So hashtag Taylor Swift still reads in my mind pound Taylor Swift?

  I have always called that shebang.

    Fascinating. The wikipedia page is for shebang so clearly you are right.

    But the wikipedia page also cites it being called hashbang – citing mostly o’reilly books.

    Now I’m intrigued, not that I have a lot of reason to talk about shell scripts, but I had never heard it called any other way.

    TIL, thanks!

      In college we were taught “hash bang or shebang for short”.
