I appreciate the spirit and the knowledge that you wrote this blog post with BUT - The extra few seconds to put this in a .sh file in the first place ... priceless. Even for the basic case of debugging it and getting it working. I don't think in the 20-25 years I've been "doing" unix that I've ever done this (I doubt anyone that has worked with me considers me ocd fwiw but this is beyond the pale). Behaviors like this lead to "magic" work environments and are just pants on head places to work at/with. I would be really mad the first time I found you doing this and I'd look for a different work situation for one of us the second time :) Thanks for the cool post.
