Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
It's better to learn the new command, then it still works when you use a different machine that doesn't have your alias
If you are me, there is no brain space for remembering new commands. I can already barely hold on to few dozens that I use often. And occasionally when I need "that one that does that niche thing... how was it?" program - I just sit there sifting through logs for couple minutes.
Today it was
od
(tbh it'sod
almost half the time; not really the best name to memorize (I really need to make a note or something, so I stop forgetting it, lol))Also, for this reason I went to great lengths to keep my
~/.zsh_history
protected from being randomly deleted/overwritten by mistake, as it happened a couple of times. Currently it's sitting at around 30_000 lines, oldest command is 2 years old.
