   Okay, I'm all for writing scripts to automate complex, oft-repeated tasks...
   
   But I only see like 3 lines of bash commands, a couple echo lines, and a whole ton of comments.
   
   Am I missing something?

   And one of those bash commands is a "just in case you forgot to add an argument" warning.
   
   Y'all motherfucker(s) need Jesus.

   Originally posted by filtration Welcome to my world… I am a lazy piece of shit. I will make a shell script or some type of automation if it takes me more than 10 seconds to perform.

   
   I do essentially the same thing.
   
   I've written dozens, even hundreds of lines of code, just to automate a task that, at the end of the day, I only end up performing like a handful of times.
   
   It's pretty much par for the course for anyone that does any kind of coding/development/system-maintenace/etc.

   Originally posted by filtration they write all these programs in let's say 'Java' to perform an action (list files, parse CSV's)

   
   Dude, I will NEVER understand people who do that kind of thing.
   
   I mean, I might give them some leeway if they're seasoned developers that are so used to using languages like Java that it somehow takes them less time than using something else.
   
   But there are objectively more succinct ways to accomplish the same routine tasks than fucking Java.

   At least the top rated answer on that StackOverflow question addressed it...
   
   "Fast comes at a price.... code complexity and perhaps readability."
   
   That pretty much sums it all up.
   
   Personally, I've never had to care all that much about computational efficiency.
   
   So I use python for literally everything unless I'm otherwise constrained (i.e. modifying, or contributing to, an already existing codebase in some other language).
   
   Honestly, I even use python in lieu of bash scripting because I find it just as concise as well as even more readable.

    I've been forcing myself into a habit of trying to only write code that I'll use.
    
    I actually find myself coding less.
    
    But I do have projects in mind.

    I don't get why you wouldn't write a one liner and put it as an alias.
