Bash scripting is a somewhat subtle art. I've written a highly opinionated guide: https://github.com/pesterhazy/blissful-bash. Feedback welcome

https://github.com/soc/directories-jvm/blob/master/README.md this makes placing dotfiles so easy for tools.

I wouldn't do that unless you're already really good at microservices

how do people do this in practice?

another option I thought of was a shared library, which might be possible since we could target JS + JVM

but that doesn't seem very future proof

the other option is just to add all of this biz logic to the data layer... which feels bad too

I've used shared libs before

It means you have to update all your targets when you change the business logic

If the rules change frequently this becomes unattractive, though

In practice, most of things I did this with never changed

The fewer things that you have to make network calls for, the easier life is

I 💯 agree with that. it just sucks feeling like you're implementing the same business rules... over and over and over 😅

I've worked on 3 teams in this company and implemented the same biz logic at least 5 times
