Omg I tell people at least 3 times a day about bash's tab completion. Cli proficiency should be taught before programming
Mindlessly mashing tab > copy paste any day brother
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
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)
