Here we go again.
After building an image modal with CSS only (and completely neglecting accessibility (sorry, @grahamthedev)) and an attempt to e...

A great article as always! My condolences for you must have had to go through in order to complete the article. That said, this was a very fun and educative read.
I think it also applies that
to bash 😉
Thank you! Yeah, I've lost a few braincells during this, which isbthe exact reason I didn't care about security; The complexity would be unbearable.
Bash is interesting in that regard: There's a gazillion ways of doing the exact same thing, so once you think you've figured out how to do a thing, the next SO post you look at will do it entirely different with no apparent reason. I'm just happy that Bash doesn't rely on probabilities under the hood.
Thankfully bash doesn't play dice, even if it feels like that too often :p
This is awesome. My favorite post on DEV for the past couple weeks.
Thank you so much, glad you liked it!
lmfao, I love this.
I see I am not the only one on a run of "abusing the internet"!
I can't wait to see what you do next...mine is "Conway's game of life in pure HTML"! 😂💗💗
Let's see what my brain decides to come up with next, I usually have little to no control over my creative impulses :D
Conway's game of life in pure HTML sounds complex as anything, very much looking forward to that!
I feel like when I was a child and my mother told me an incredible but plausible horror story to teach me something valuable.
Yeah, very impressive.
Yeah, don't do this at home !
In general don't use Bash except when someone else is maintaining it.
Haha, I can relate to that one :D One can do incredible things with Bash (as this post hopefully showcases) and knowimg it to some degree helps a lot, especially in a DevOps setup. I've seen countless deployment scripts using it, Bash is just so convenient. However, just because it's possible to build large-scale applications with Bash, doesn't mean we should build them. :)
For my own sanity, any non trivial Bash script is too much bash script.
As soon as I see an if statement, or a loop, or a function,
I give up Bash and use $favoriteProgrammingLanguage instead.
Didn't see that coming 😂
To be honest, neither did I, a month ago. It's just amazing how fast dumb ideas can come to life!
That's neat!
Thank you!
I saw the title and I knew this was going to be one hell of a ride.
Great one, Pascal.
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it! For some reason, most of my "Don't try this at home" posts turn out to be quite the adventure. At least in development, unchartered land tends to be fun :D
Now that's what I call a crazy idea!!
Crazy indeed, but hey, at least it's possible :D
I think I should suggest my bank to use this server.
Great article by the way!
Thank you, so glad you liked it! The question is, though, what's worse: COBOL or Bash, right? :D
Yes i like it
Thank you so much!
great content. Ty!
You're very welcome, glad you liked it!
It is so crazy! GREAT! 😃
Thank you, glad you liked it!
is this some kinda black magic? 🤯
Nope, Bash only, the next best thing to black magic! 😅
