I used to joke at my previous position that I was a "programmer-lite", because I was in a support role and they wouldn't let me write code, but for some reason I was allowed to write and commit bash scripts, so all of the programmers started coming to me to write the shell script interfaces to their programs. I took pride in making the scripts "safe", running them through shellcheck and actually checking the exit status on things. To this day, I've still never quite gotten the hang of the whole "trap" mechanic, though...
