I am very motivated by "Hey, that program doesn't work the way I want it to! Let's bend it to my will!" While my code isn't always optimized, I've worked pretty hard to make it:
- A learning experience for me that fixes a problem/need I have.
- Easy to figure out how it works
- Resistant to bitrot ( shakes fist at all the abandoned python2 programs )
- Able for someone else to come along and fix any bitrot that happens if I'm not able or around to do it myself.
That's led to a lot of these being in BASH. There's some BASHisms throughout, so they're not exactly POSIX-compliant, but hopefully they're close enough that someone who is better at such than I can easily tweak them.
