    Omg I tell people at least 3 times a day about bash’s tab completion. Cli proficiency should be taught before programming

      Tab completion is the main way I check that I’m using a valid file path in the command, especially when I’m deleting something. (and even then I double and triple check the path when I delete something lol)

      Thank you, whenever people ask me how to start learning and get rolling in tech related things I’ve struggled trying to articulate this exact point. I’m not a sysadmin or anything but knowing how to navigate CLIs across OS’s makes everything so much easier to learn and do
