alt Hacker News“It’s a Unix system. I know this.” was definitely the line from the movie most quoted in online spaces in the 90s.

I still quote this line at work all the time. Basically whenever anyone asks me if I know how to do something on the computer
I wonder how many sysadmin or adjacent careers that scene helped to foster.
As a kid JP was a favorite of mine, and eventually I got into Linux as an older teen.
That sequence cemented Unix as this mythical thing in my mind and I knew I had to know more. I eventually got to work on AIX in my first sysadmin role which was great. I leaned more into Linux, but it had a positive effect on my IT career.
