The time I wrote my docker stack

I like bash scripts.

Especially if they are interactive. With color-output. And progress bars.

During my career, I wrote quite a few of them. And some of them should probably never have been made.

It always started with a wish to automate something, but the software package that does that felt overkill.

I need just this one feature; I’ll just write a script.

And so it grew until one day, I realized I had built my own Kubernetes — but worse.

These days, I’m more careful with my scripting, and I tend to go for the off-the-shelf solution that seems too much now and grow into it.

There may be overhead from the start, but at least I’m not reinventing the wheel.

Just don’t grep for #!/bin/bash files in my ~/.

Yours,

Taj
