I'll do you one better!
In the spirit of the pre-commercialized, pre-monopolized and pre-whored-out Internet, and the extent to which freedom dies with a wimper on Web 2.0, I'll stop posting on HN entirely!
On one hand, there are some things that are simply too complex to attempt implementation with bash a script.
otoh, there are many things that could or even ideally should be kept simple such that a bash script is the best practice, most simple, proven, reliable solution.
It can be useful to keep it simple and try to stay exclusively with HTML-latest + ES-latest + CSS and avoiding external JS libraries as much as possible. Using the latest versions of just the basics (HTML, ES, CSS) can help minimize what only recently required the addition of external JS libraries.
In my experience, this is a new development in the software industry.
In the past, the software industry was far more constrained when it comes to talent acquisition.
I vividly recall an old-guard software CEO in the mid 1990s lamenting the beginning of the dot-com era: its overwhelming demand for engineers and seemingly skyrocketing staffing costs.
I've been in the industry for decades and to me this feels like an effect whereby there is now a massive, seemingly endless stream of candidates for recruiters or companies to choose from.
I can only imagine there are many problems that can arise from an environment whereby there are effectively an infinite number of candidates.
Analysis paralysis for instance?

I also find it puzzling. Then again, as with cults or other bottom feeding fads and the increasingly ubiquitous, various and sundry addictive mires and dark patterns, to avoid the trouble in leaving, it is best not to enroll in the first place.
hmm your comment makes it sound as if I had said that my professor recommended reckless abandon such that we should climb the tower in swimwear during a heavy rain after cranking the tranmitter to maximum?
In school, we used to learn about the RF service technicians returning with stories of dead birds and other such phantasmagoria in and around the sweet spots of the feedhorn, antenna, transmission line, transmitter or other such sensitive areas of high power microwave operations.
Professor also admonished us that such technicians must always be infinitely certain that the transmitter is not operational at the time of service.
Shouldn't people be having fun with or trolling these always-listening systems by speaking gibberish, in tongues or reciting custom sea shanties that reenact purely fictional accounts of high crimes on the open seas?
Alas, the 21st century provides the opportunity to address the growing scourge of using sounds or combinations of letters that communicate meaning without being divisible into smaller units capable of independent use.
