Parallel and Series makes sense to me; it's also the terminology used for electrical circuits.

#4Genuine question out of curiosity. Why do I want parallel and sequential when I can just write a simple bash script to accomplish the same thing? Is there some additional complexity I’m missing?

When talking in terms of software parallelism, "parallel" and "sequential" are more common to describe, for example, multi-threaded vs. single-threaded implementations.

Both would be understood and are roughly interchangeable.
"Sequential" feels more appropriate to me for the task runner scenario where we wait for one task to finish before running the next.
"Series" suggests a kind of concurrency to me because of the electrical circuit context, where the outputs of one are flowing into the next, but both are running concurrently. Processes that are Unix piped into each other would be another thing that feels more like a "series" than a "sequence".

I think your average person knows what sequential means but might not remember what series means. Personally I always remember the meaning of series in “parallel vs series” because it must be the opposite of parallel. I’m not proud of the fact that I always forget and have to re-intuit the meaning every time, but the only time I ever see “series” is when people are talking about a TV show or electronics.

This is cleaner and you don't have to write a bash script. It's one (well, several: the script, bash, and it's dependencies) less thing, which is important in containers and for scale.

Electric engineering talks about parallel and series. (including the old parallel and serial ports on computers, before almost everything became serial)
Programming talks about parallelism or concurrency or threading. (single-threading, multi-threading)
Or synchronous and asynchronous.
The legal system talks about concurrent and consecutive.
Process descriptions might use "sequential" rather than consecutive or series.
"Linear" is another possibility, but it's overloaded since it's often used in reference to mathematics.

It lets developers on Windows also build and test your package in parallel mode. If you make your build scripts bash, they're Linux-only.
