So is it "It just works" or "Shit just works"?

  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.

  Some alternative , nerdy interpretations follow:

  • sh: it just works. You don’t need bash, zsh, fish, tcsh or anything else, just running sh will 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 with sh.

    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 former. 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

    • TokenEffort@sh.itjust.works ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yeah but… SJW means something else lmfao

  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.

  Hmmm. What if it’s because the admin was an old school Linux user and never took to bash. “sh. it just works”.

  Shit just works - forever and always.

  (shh, it just works and shit just works are both valid - the intent was the former IIRC - but the latter is obviously the superior choice. I’m also partial to sh.it.heads to refer to users [cheeky, but thought about in the same way as Deadheads for Grateful Dead fans])

  I pronounce it “this post hidden due to instance block settings”.

    Any reason you have blocked the instance?

      The general trend of the behaviour of the userbase when it first began appearing. I’m pretty block-happy. I’m sure it’s an over-generalisation but I’ve learned over the years that I’d rather miss out than feel constantly annoyed.

  Since DNS is hierarchical, it could be set up so that they both work.
