## What Jamie wrote

This is so amazing and great! 

> The Unix Game is a fun, low-barrier-to-entry programming contest where players solve coding challenges by constructing "pipelines" of UNIX text processing utilities to compute the solution.

UNIX nerds love to brag about the amazing "command line fu" they come up with. This is a great way to learn, and to develop an appreciation for the kind of things that a CLI still is so great at. 🧑‍💻
