>There are probably coders that will cringe that I just used a couple of shell commands to do this rather than write up a long, well-documented, properly OOP, TDD, etc "right" solution.
No, I don't think so. This is not technical debt. This is simply the right way to do it. More complicated is NOT better! A lot of people, for some reason especially people who like classes and MVP and templates think that more complicated is better, and will write insane amounts of code to do a very simple thing. I think that's wrong.
The reply is usually something along the lines of it'll be easier to do this and that. But they are not doing this and that, they are doing something simple. Add the complexity when you need it - not in advance.
