    The thing is, most humans are laughably bad at architecting software without actually writing it first

    That quote is hilarious to me, I guess they haven’t stumbled upon design patterns yet? I don’t even know who this blog is supposed to be for, there’s no name attached so I’m half guessing it’s more AI slop












  • I agree with your points, except if the script ever needs maintaining by someone else’s they will curse you and if it gets much more complicated it can quickly become spaghetti. But I do have a fair number of bash scripts running on cron jobs, sometimes its simplicity is unbeatable!

    Personally though the language I reach for when I need a script is Python with the click library, it handles arguments and is really easy to work with. If you want to keep python deps down you can also use the sh module to run system commands like they’re regular python, pretty handy
