When you write scripts to automate stuff because you're lazy, but you spend so much time writing them it makes you doubt your own laziness

    You do not sound lazy the automation may have good ROI in the long or short term.

    Back end dev here. Scripting is fine until it gets complex. When you're using bash to parse the output of other commands 5 calls deep, just use a high level language. Any will do. It has to be better than second guessing yourself ever time you need to make a change. Code reuse is your friend!
