Sorry, I didn't quite understand this. Why echo Hey! > dev.txt does not overwrite the contents of dev.txt. Where is the second line (How are you?) coming from?
That's simple to understand, but why is that regarded as a meme? I think probably two person (admin) has logged into the machine with SSH and they are chatting with each other using the file. I'm just guessing though, not sure actually what's happening!
Linux admins will get this 👻
