I'm now at the point where I'm writing creative shellscripts but to boring and almost bureaucratic coding standards. They still run too fast for me to follow, so I don't need to shave nanoseconds with clever hacks. By being smart & refusing to be clever, my mistakes are obvious, easy to spot, & even easier to correct.

By refusing to move fast & break things, what I'm making will also refuse to do that, & it'll still probably come out faster & more robust than techbro drafts & slop.
