Wake me up the next time a 5-line shell script in Bash that uses only standard tools and runs off of any default Debian sells with a license cost of $20 (only) -- you know, for the 5 lines, not anything else -- and anyone pays it. Doesn't matter what it does. It is literally impossible to sell even $20 worth of the solution the person advocates. Go ahead: link me to anywhere in the web selling a 5-line bash file without anything else. I'm waiting. You can do a lot in 5 lines, too. lalalala. waiting. While I wait I think I'll make some money coding something people actually pay for. /s Seriously though, while the author's point might stand in many sys admin and even systems integration roles - most of the software world actually pays for deliverables: the clearest example of which is consumers doing so. People would rather spend 20 hours cursing, and then give up, rather than pay for a systems integration script that generalizes and solves their problem. It's what the market demands. This article really would make sense if it came from the person paying -- but it doesn't. nobody who is paying actually says the words the article chose for the title. Yes, you are paid to code.
