 ### Safety and Portability
 
-1. Use `{}` to enclose your variables. Otherwise, Bash will try to access the `$ENVIRONMENT_app` variable in `/srv/$ENVIRONMENT_app`, whereas you probably intended `/srv/${ENVIRONMENT}_app`. Since it is easy to miss cases like this, we recommend to make enclosing a habit.

 1. Use `set`, rather than relying on a shebang like `#!/usr/bin/env bash -e`, since that is neutralized when someone runs your script as `bash yourscript.sh`.
 1. Use `#!/usr/bin/env bash`, as it is more portable than `#!/bin/bash`.
 1. Use `${BASH_SOURCE[0]}` if you refer to current file, even if it is sourced by a parent script. In other cases, use `${0}`.
