I’m referring to the sh.itjustworks instance. Which one would be it? Because I’m kind of confused…

    I’ve always read it as “shit just works”. Why would the “sh” be there if we weren’t supposed to read it?

      No, it’s a comforting “sh” like “shhhhh”, don’t worry, it just works.

      It’s only one h for the double entendre.

      Imagine a greasy old IT technician coming up to you, putting a finger on your lips and gently saying that after you gasped about the entangled mess of hundreds of Ethernet cables in the server room

    Probably the latter. I’ve seen it abbreviated as SJW, that’s unnecessary don’t do that. Am I old?

    Hmmm. What if it’s because the admin was an old school Linux user and never took to bash. “sh. it just works”.

      It’s pronounced like it was something named in the universe of Dune: Zhid-Ghuwerst. You have to raise your eyebrows while you say it, as that’s part of the expression.

    It’s “S Hit Just Works” and it’s the slapping car meme.

    The “S” is because the car salesman has a slight lisp.

    Slaps Instance this bad boy just works.

    Shit just works - forever and always.

    (shh, it just works and shit just works are both valid - the intent was the former IIRC - but the latter is obviously the superior choice. I’m also partial to sh.it.heads when referring to users [cheeky, but thought about in the same way as Deadheads for Grateful Dead fans])
