set -e is not a bashism, but people who reach for it are extremely likely to write bash-only code. That's just been my experience. And I'm not your "bro".

Cute backtracking. :) It's fun to watch you squirm and try and come up with a narrative where the laughable things you've said are justified. I've learnt a lot from you. The original Bourne shell didn't support set -e. set -e is a bashism. Depending on a posix shell is unreasonable. This has something to do with Linux. Wait, none of these things are true. > because on Solaris /bin/sh is the real McCoy - Steven Bourne's shell from 1972 - 1977. vs. v7 Linux from 1977-1978 including set -e. You're hilarious, bro.

  For all I know, you could have made all that shit up. I see no reason to believe you or trust what you wrote there. I know I got busted by set -e or else I wouldn't have brought it up. It's that simple and no amount of trolling me will change that. I don't have Alzheimer's just yet. And I'm not your "bro". Are you in need of an older brother so badly?

      I'm not your "bro", as much as you'd like me to be.
