Would love more stories of things that helped you in the last ~5 years!

(as usual, no need to reply if you don’t remember, or if you’ve been using the command line comfortably for 15 years — this question isn’t for you :) )

@b0rk dont know if this would help, but hope it does;
i was never afraid,
when i started i already knew programming

every comand is like a function
everything that comes after the command are arguments

some comands return stuff
you can put that stuff as an argument into another command using pipe " | "

i always had the thought of:
what i dont know i can learn;
also whatever happens happens,
everybody makes mistakes (pros and newbies)
its just part of life
