Please stop writing shell scripts

[Kent Sharkey]

Unless you are very careful from day one, any shell script above a certain complexity level is almost guaranteed to be buggy… and retrofitting the correctness features is quite difficult.

If you use them wrong, you can have problems!

So the more complex your script, the more chance it has of having bugs and issues? Lucky for me that is strictly a shell scripting thing. Heaven help us all if that were to trickle down to other coding languages.
