what helps people get comfortable on the command line? https://jvns.ca/blog/2023/08/08/what-helps-people-get-comfortable-on-the-command-line-/

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 only semi related, but I recently was playing around with an old IBM OS (AS400). It had this neat feature where typing any command, you could press an F-key to pull up an form to fill in. The form was the exact same as the command line args, just with full text names for each fields and it took up the whole screen. Made figuring out how to use a command easier.
