If those edge cases and failure modes don’t apply to the situation, then it’s a good thing. I’ve watched many engineers over the years invest hours in making clean and robust solutions for one-off tasks that could have been scripted in a few minutes and in a few lines of python/perl/ruby/bash. 🤷♂️

I mean one often thinks they don’t apply and then is surprised by breakage. Or worse: it goes unnoticed. How many problems have happened because someone hasn’t considered whitespace in filenames?
