On one hand, there are some things that are simply too complex to attempt implementation with bash a script.

otoh, there are many things that could or even ideally should be kept simple such that a bash script is the best practice, most simple, proven, reliable solution.

It can be useful to keep it simple and try to stay exclusively with HTML-latest + ES-latest + CSS and avoiding external JS libraries as much as possible.

I vividly recall an old-guard software CEO in the mid 1990s lamenting the beginning of the dot-com era: its overwhelming demand for engineers and seemingly skyrocketing staffing costs. I've been in the industry for decades and to me this feels like an effect whereby there is now a massive, seemingly endless stream of candidates for recruiters or companies to choose from. I can only imagine there are many problems that can arise from an environment whereby there are effectively an infinite number of candidates. Analysis paralysis for instance?
