🚀 Lambda Deployments v2: Taking the Lambda deployment pipeline from MVP to production-ready
I added ShellCheck to the CI pipeline. It catches common shell scripting mistakes like unquoted variables, unused variables, and POSIX compliance issues. It runs on every push against all scripts in the scripts/ directory.

Debugging Bash Like a Sire
I never thought of the idea of printing out a stack trace and a logging function is an example of such a good idea that is so obvious that I didn't think of it :-)
I use -e sometimes but I really dislike scripts that rely on it for all error handling instead of handling errors and logging them.

^^ this tool has proven very useful for avoiding some of the most silly mistakes and making my scripts better. If you're maintaining scripts with other people then it is a great way of getting people to fix things without directly criticising them.

Matanuska ADR 017 - Vitest, Vite, Grabthar, Oh My!
Unfortunately, this did mean that configuration began to sprawl. At this point, I had configurations not just for Vite (shared with Vitest) and tsc, but also for Prettier, ESLint and even ShellCheck. Many of these files had shared settings that needed to match each other. This was somewhat manageable, until Vite was also in the mix.
