Say what you want about linux, but the fact that I could just go "I want to watch this twitch stream the moment it goes live, but not actually use that awful website frontend" and proceed to type while true; do mpv https://twitch.tv/ channelname; done and that actually just work1 is very satisfying.
Bash can be obtuse at times but having a shell you can just write simple code/script/baby computer words in is so, so good. One of those things I feel like a fool for not picking up way sooner, like RSS.

I had no idea if "while true" would work in bash. For better or worse I don't often do logic in there.
