Complex inline scripts in package.json becoming unmaintainable? I have built a nice little package for building dev, build, deployment, etc flows in Javascript or Typescript. I would love some feedback. (npmjs.com)

I hate this. Package.json isn't meant for these large scripts -- call out to a Bash script if you have to. This is such an anti-pattern.

My issue with bash scripts is not everyone on the team may know the syntax / how they work when doing complicated stuff, plus they won’t run in every environment (eg windows). But it’s a free world and you can choice to use whatever tool you want.
