A bit off-topic, but in a shell pipeline like that, if you put your pipe chars at the end of the line you don't need backslashes and you can comment out bits of the pipe for devving.
This little change was mind-blowing for me so I always try to share when I can :)

thanks :) i prefer to have the pipes on the new line so it’s more clear how the data flow works, but that’s a cute trick.
