This is basic nonsense. Design your scripts and provision your environments. _You_ can stop writing bash scripts. I find them eminently useful and I control/provision the environments they run in. If you are not in control then do what you are told. Most people would puke if I told them that a lot of csh is alive and well in sci-prod environments but that is the way it are. You _do_ tailor your environment bc that is the way *nix was designed. Controlling people and peoples habits is faang land.
