 this is one of the first scripts I wrote
 
 I can't believe I put the --no-ls AFTER the argument, ha, what a noob.
 
 ah well if it works it works and I can't refactor now because I built it into
 random scripts and I'd be fixing errors all the time.
script 1:  #!/bin/bash  # sort by filetype would be nice  alias cd="cd-improved"  function cd-improved(){      if [ "${1}" = "..." ] ; then         builtin cd .. && builtin cd ..     elif [ "${1}" = "...." ] ; then         builtin cd .. && builtin cd .. && builtin cd ..     elif [ "${1}" = "....." ] ; then         builtin cd .. && builtin cd .. && builtin cd .. && builtin cd ..          elif [ -d "./${1}" ] ; then         local target_dir="./${1}"      elif [ "${1}" = "cdir" ] ; then         local target_dir="$(tail -n 1 '/home/ritz/scripts/.cdir-target')"         echo ${target_dir}       else         local target_dir="${1}"     fi      if [ ! "${2}" = '--no-ls' ] ; then         builtin cd "${target_dir}" && ls -v --color=auto     else         builtin cd "${target_dir}"     fi          # if the qcd function is defined     if declare qcd > /dev/null; then         quick_cd -d DEFAULT         quick_cd -a DEFAULT     fi }    script 2:  #!/bin/bash  function cdir(){        if [ "$#" -eq 0 ]; then       pwd | cat >> ~/scripts/.cdir-target    elif [ "${1}" == "-l" ]; then       cat ~/scripts/.cdir-target    fi      }

 This was the first bash script I ever wrote.
 
 It's been updated a little, it was a bash alias first, but this is what it
 looks like now.
 
 Kinda shows what kinds of problems I needed to solve most.
A bash script that plays a random episode of Adventure Time from a terminal.

 this is the simplest implementation of scalable anarchism I could think of.
 tell me how it's flawed so I can improve it before I need it.
algorism is a political and economic philosophy designed to wrest power from those who may be corrupted by it, and restore dignity and agency to all of humanity.  It accomplishes this through several layers of abstraction, of votes, of control, of decisions. What do people need? How could we improve? Is there something more we could do?  The idea is to negate bureaucracy by accomplishing goals in an ad-hoc fashion rather than rely on legalism for institutional execution. Projects, not operations.  Society shall be organized into tiers of rotating peers chosen by vote. Each tier sends their top two most voted for up a level to the next tier of organization. the duty of each tier is to provide for the needs and accomplish the demands of each of their lower tier allies. In addition they should provide what they can to their representatives, who offer them on the tier above.  If a need or demand cannot be met by the team of reps, the request is passed upward. This process can be accomplished with paper and pencil, but it's much better to automate and be public.  If desired, there is a queue system to help with the allocation of resources. This system rewards patience and conservation while still allowing for rapid acquisition. Pick two: good, cheap, fast.  It includes also a recycling system - the more you give back in clean and working order, the greater the options available to you.  It is a system of distribution, not control.

 I haven't heard of that but I'll look into it! Honestly I'm more likely to
 write my own script, it shouldn't be too hard just altering the /etc/hosts
 file and then changing it back in ~15 minutes with a cron-job, as Nikky says
 down below. I like things that I make myself because then if it breaks I know
 who to blame! And who to go to to fix it. >: )

 source code should be like a story
 
 "here's why we did what we did with our architecture"
 
 and as it's being written, it may be altered in many different places at once
 - git style.
 
 parts of it could rhyme,
 
 if they wanted to show parts that were really difficult but easy to summarize
 because it's mostly just a lot of boring work y'know like writing getters and
 setters and doing the testing pre-deploy environments
 
 ,,, they could selectionize

 If you're writing a bash script, you should never hard-code file locations.
 Instead, put them in a variable at the top of your script, so they're easy to
 find when people need to configure your script or move files around.
 
 It's like a config file built INTO the script itself. Just change the
 variables, they're at the top with comments.

 it's probably a good idea to write pseudocode, then real code, instead of
 starting with real code, and bugfixing something incomplete and more difficult
 to reason with.
 
 unless you write real code easier than pseudocode. idk do what works for you.
