PPSS VS laravel-websockets-example

At one time, I did learn myself to write shell scripts. I even wrote this 3Kl line monstrosity [0]

However, I would strongly advice to master a proper programming language. I respect the article and the efforts of the author, but I feel that it is the past.

I mastered Python a bit and the ability to just use things like dictionaries, proper parsing libraries and such, instead of kilometers of fragile pipes, it is so much better.

I understand something like Python may feel total overkill, but that 10 line shell script suddenly needs quite a bit of error handling and some other features and before you know it, you wish you started out with python or something similar.

I do the same thing, but slightly differently. https://github.com/francislavoie/laravel-websockets-example/...

I rather just write a bash script. It's the lowest common denominator. Make may not be installed by default in many places and it has some weird syntax quirks that make it annoying to use IMO.

Here's an example of how I like to do my "bash scripts that sorta work like make": https://github.com/francislavoie/laravel-websockets-example/... basically each function is a "command", so I do like "./utils start" or whatever.

This is an example repo I built a little while ago which outlines how I like to structure my Laravel projects for Docker: https://github.com/francislavoie/laravel-websockets-example

I wrote up my own version of what a docker stack looks like as an example repo a few months ago, I wanted to give Laravel Sail a spin but I found that it really wasn't that good; no path to transitioning to running on prod with that setup, no easy local HTTPS support, etc. Here it is: https://github.com/francislavoie/laravel-websockets-example
