It is indeed. It's an interesting open source project too, because its usefulness is very much inversely proportional to the time you spend using it! Contributors often start submitting changes, then their children grow up and they los

For me, a lot of that came down to making sure every automation I add is usable with the least amount of mental effort. For the longest time I didn't automate much at all and often questioned whether I needed all this or not, then we h

In my case, I used it to build an all-in-one tool for a local dev environment. It wraps all kinds of operations for starting/stopping things, extracting and modifying data, etc. while providing some useful tips when things go wrong. At

Hah! I have to admit that I spent quite some time thinking about whether I wanted to use this or switch to a "real" language. For all its shortcomings, I find that shell scripting is still the easiest way to put together a tool th
