Interesting. I have a few things to try:

1. What happens when you run `which myfile`?
2. Does it only happen with scripts? If you compile hello_world.c and
put it in bin, can you execute that without a full path?

macOS comes from BSD, which does things a little differently. That
said, I don't know if other BSDs default to the 'staff' group.

file not found

No. I compiled a Hello World in C, and I can't run it without ./hello. If I copy the file into /usr/local/bin it works. Interesting for sure.
