I always cringe when i see a blog post along the lines of
"A great way to do X in unix"
because it is almost always followed by the true unix gurus coming on and schooling the poster.
literally, people: assume any unix script you post, no matter how trivial, must meet the standards of a mathematical proof to Fermat's Last Theorem.
and i must confess, i look down on bloggers that blithely post a unix script. Not because of their lack of Unix foo, but rather the shear naivete of posting it (and the ignorance of the fact that the grey wizards will come out of their tower and pound you for anything less than perfection)
