The whitespace doesn't provide any value either, depending on which
biased analysis you'd like to make. Would this example be less wasteful
to you?
```
#!/bin/sh -e
hello () { echo hello; }
build() { docker build -t image .; }
push() { docker push -t image; }
"$@"
```
"-e" doesn't buy anthing (and is not on per default) -> 3 bytes less
Most of the ' ' are superfluous too (as it's already pretty unreadable
anyways).
SCNR ...
I'm not the one who initially proposed using -e ;) I'm not a fan of -e
in the first place: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/105
I just reformatted whitespace for the script which was considered "too
noisy".
(But set -e would buy you something, if the script were to use command
lists. Perhaps that is what the person-who-is-not-me was thinking about...)

So, the USP here is that mim provides a very clear and intuitive
"clear and intuitive" is pretty subjective.
That is a good point as well!

Couldn't you also COPY mim.sh? Why add 500 bytes to *everyone*'s
Or make it a separate package?!
Some may have a `make` package on their small system ....
I mean, to be fair it's probably a lot easier to COPY mim.sh than get a
new package into alpine.

Why must every single small script that some people consider useful, be
hardcoded into the busybox binary?
Because folks are too lazy to build and maintain their own small
packages?!
And apparently they're also too lazy to check in a tiny shellscript to
their git repository, too. :/
"clear and intuitive" is pretty subjective.

you are also arguing from your own perspective, everything could be
declared as subjective, like the point, that it is a *good point*. :)
IMO It's not a good point at all, because "clearness" is clearly defined as
*"**The state of being free from**obstruction
<https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/obstruction>**or**interference
<https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/interference>**."

Also there is nothing wrong with having its own subjective viewing of
things and discuss the objective pros/cons, otherwise we would still be
monkeys, some still are.

also true for sure, technology exists because of lazyness.
