I’ve only ever grepped log files. 9 years into my career now so not sure which side of the spectrum I’m on (i’m definitely on the spectrum)

Here we are all on the spectrum my friend.

I’m grepping log since the 80s/90s, still do

10 years give and take

Well buddy, no need to be so greedy. Around here people just do a give or take, not both.

-10+10=0

Well exactly. 10 years give and take means exactly 10 years. 10 years give OR take is a way to say it may be a little more or a little less.

Yeah then I can’t be greedy, I took exactly 0 years

What about leap seconds?

I have scripts to ssh and grep my logs across multiple VMs. Way faster than our crap Splunk instance. Pipe that shit through awk and I can find anything!
