you don't even really disagree with my comment

I don't even ... what now?

I completely disagree with your original comment, both in tone and in content. I disagree somewhat less with your present comment.

imagining I don't know that darkpan exists and can't grasp that some small scripts are one-offs

Your original post concisely divided the world into (a) strict code, (b) one-liners, and (c) maintenance nightmares. I don't see how I can be expected to imagine that you know about darkpan and the plethora of useful one-off scripts, but so be it--let's just agree that my psychic powers did not kick in as expected, and I mischaracterized you as a result. Salva's replies were more measured but also were a recap of posts we already have here. This was a useful discussion for me, and I really don't want it to devolve into arguments. So, rather than going in circles, I think I will log out and forget my password. :-)
