Hello Tony!

Similar here ;-) Why to even bother with perl/python - if it is possible to do
it in bash. Part time collegue wants to know something? grep log | awk | sed |
cut and that it is. Ah, he needs that every Sunday? crontab -e... But this I
do not call "programming" ;-)

But OK.

For example - recently, I needed simple sorting of movies. (parse .nfo, get
genre-actors-length-etc from imbd [no api, simple GET] and create Junctions
[similar to linux links] on NTFS pointing to AVI/MP4/etc. - that my wife can
simply click e.g. on actors name and see what is there) I started with bash
and there were many obstacles. Even that NTFS bothered me. But with Delphi? It
was smooth. (I added also other links like csfd for .cz specials, to detect
subtitles, detect RAR, etc. etc.) I know, there are KODI and similar things.
But I needed something simple, knowing what it is doing, specific in certain
fuctions.

Another example - I still remember one guy, who changed IO.SYS that time, due
to the fact that his harddrive had one head failing (to skip bad sectors
quickly). I know is different level, but one thing there is in common. We
needed it, we did it by ourselves.
