       Can anyone explain why command line tools moved away from the "silence is golden" paradigm?  This toot inspired by Python's "black", which prints boldface, colour, sparkles, and a cake emoji when things go well.

       @athas 1. I'm with you!2. I wonder if it's because a lot of them run in CI/CD now, such that it's painting logfiles with a wall of sparkles but not so often a console?

       @tek But that's even worse! You only read those logs when things go wrong, and it's much harder to find pertinent information when the output is a complete fruit salad. The kids are not alright on this one.

       @athas Fair point. And I'm all in on your premise! Run a command, wait 10 minutes, and come back to a shell prompt on the next line? Yay, it worked!
