Nice post, and a good few minutes wasted and I know I’m just being pedantic here but:
“Writing a shell script does for your programming brain what taking a spin around the block does for your car: both activities keep them from rusting.” isn’t completely true – taking a car for a short run damages it. For example, if you don’t wait long enough for the whole exhaust to warm up, the half that didn’t can cause the exhaust to fall off, and the acids in the cold exhaust fumes make it worse.
