discovered a cool trick for writing a script that runs some commands in parallel and waits for all to complete while also logging and propagating errors properly

The more experience I accumulate over the years the less I care for installing cool new tools and the more interested I am in really honing my use of the tools that are already installed everywhere (and have been for 30 years) and finding neat and powerful ways to wield them

@hailey I think I am becoming the same, I realized I should learn the "old" UNIX tools like awk earlier because of how often I hack small throwaway scripts

Nice use of make too, thanks.
