I’ve seen the same thing happen with any language. Generally tends to happen when a dev hasn’t thought through the scope of what they are doing beforehand. I’ve written some ugly python in my earlier days due to this as well.

My point here is it is less to due with the language and more to due with the mindset when solving a problem.

The main issue I see with more inexperienced devs with bash is that they tend to think it’s okay to be lazy with the code because it’s just “bash”. If you would write safety checks and comments in your python you should be doing the same in bash really.
