How do you recommend fitting an autoformatter into a programming workflow? I'm using pycharm
pycharm is a workflow now?

How about you don't? Bash as scripting language is rather mediocre.
Anything that is not simple in bash gets hard to read and debug and probably is wrong on some subtle levels.
I have a rule of thumb that any shell script that grows beyond a screenful of lines gets redone in a proper scripting language.
How about OP does anyway? Bash as a scripting language is fucking great!
Since when is simplicity an argument against writing programs? Whether scripts or frameworks? "Hard to read" is not neccessarily an inherent trait[1] of the language, and more likely wrong on some PEBKAC level.
I have a customised environment at near 10k lines of bash in 5 projects, all of it in the correct tool for the job, aka a proper scripting language, so I can suggest another use for your thumb :-)

TIL Rapoport's rule, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapoport%27s_rule
Oh I do love the interwebs.
The original version in Common Lisp is also available:
http://web.cecs.pdx.edu/~mm/how-to-get-copycat.html
I implemented it in Python (while reading from that LISP version, a Java version, and Melanie Mitchell's "Analogy-Making as Perception"): https://github.com/jalanb/co.py.cat
I think basic CompSci courses should really have a
course or two on managing software projects and handling
the problems of what framework do I use to build my new
software app
I've done both bachelor and master level CS studies and job-preparation-wise would probably have gotten as much (or more) from a 1-1.5 years (2-3 semesters) vocational training than I did from 8 years of university.
Probably the most apparent perk my studies have gotten me career-wise was being invited to interviews at major tech companies like google and amazon.
> most students choose to major in CS because they want to become professional programmers (aka Software Engineers)
Then why not major in Software Engineering? Is that not an option in American universities?

I understand that you have the capability of doing that, but why do you have the right to do that?
Why is it that you morally think it's okay to just consume content others have created without paying?
Because "The custom and practice of the web has always been that publicly accessible pages are served without payment"
The publishers are not offering content subject to a fee (which I am not paying). They are offering content for free, and also offering ads for free.
Accepting one of their free offers, and rejecting another of their free offers is not the same thing as "just consume ... without paying"
Some news sites do offer their content subject to a fee, and if they were interesting enough then I would pay that fee. But, because none of those sites (that I have encountered) are worth it, in comparision with the freely-served pages of the net, I choose not to pay those sites, and forego their content.
But if they are not explicitly charging a fee, then we fall back to the default custom and practice, which is that they offer content for free, and ads for free, and I have the right to accept as many, or few, of those offers as I like.
