Reading a tutorial on how to set timers in systemd. The first example, under the heading "Creating a Simple Timer", starts with:

> sudo $EDITOR /usr/local/bin/my-timer.sh

Ummm, no. If I have to elevate to root, it's not a "simple" task. It's an administrative one. Where's my drop-in replacement for `crontab -e` ???

People casually throwing around sudo in tutorials is one reason computer security is in such a shitty state.
