I’ve unfortunately often seen coworkers spend half an hour painstakingly crafting and debugging a jq query, that could have been cobbled together in a few minutes with grep and sed.
I think the issue is that jq’s interface makes it really hard to “narrow in” on the right solution, whereas grep is much more forgiving.
