Well, I'm going to disagree with her solution to bash. Bash is terrible, end of story. Just the *.txt is actually an endless pit of trap, badness and wrong behaviour. I've not written a bash script in years. I always use Python and in my experience professionally, most people automating things nowaday use Python. I only use bash to write one-line to invoke the underlying Python script. For the record, I do the same for batch file on Windows, with a simply .bat file to invoke the underlying Python script. Trying to improve the bash experience with tools and knowledge is throwing bad time at a problem that has a well-known solution. Edit: to be clear, the presentation itself is awesome. I'm just disagreeing that bash needs to be better explained. I'm ready to admit that there are existing scripts out there, most of which are probably only working in the trivial, normal case and are just one snag away from exploding, and having a known source of help can help. But please, take you're bash scrip to the shed and upgrade them to Python.
