I think I won't bother anymore with writing (bash) shell scripts that are longer than a few lines. I find the syntax too unintuitive and there are better programming languages like PHP that produce more readable code.

In the last two hours, I translated a bash shell script with ~250 lines to a PHP CLI script. The latter is nearly 400 lines long but definetly more readable and it also has more user-friendly output.

A very very ugly chain of pipes, awk, sed, and xargs just saved me from hours of tedious and unexpected clicking in a stupid web-interface.

Learn some basic #shell scripting when you're young, it will help keeping you sane.
