Some of us were doing infrastructure as code back when they still called us “Linux admins” and we were doing “gitops” with Subversion and Puppet. My title has changed a lot since the old days but some of the “new hotness” was around in the old days with different names. Fuck, look at LPARs.

I mean it’s good practice generally just in case, even when it’s not needed it makes it more maintainable

I usually go with YAGNI but shell quoting can get to be a pain so I try to do it right in scripts or aliases

But for a single one-off invocation lol definitely not quoting echo args
