@aka_pugs @nluug we definitely need more real original architects from the early days of UNIX and the likes to share their views like Tom did!

If you are a crossbow developer, a webserver (or even gopher) architect or a Solaris kernel-dev, please submit a talk for the Fall conference, or let me know here, right now, so I can try to strong arm you into it using just words and incentives from your peers. 😇😇

Want to run the same command again? In many shells (e.g., tcsh, zsh, bash) you can type "!!" to recall last command and run it. Example:

apt install nginx # missed sudo
sudo !! # this will run sudo apt install nginx
