If these tasks are making you feel bored, have you considered automating them? I think that could be more meaningful for an engineer.


Hey macterminalnewb,

It's great to see your interest in learning to use the terminal. It's a powerful tool that can significantly improve your efficiency once you get the hang of it. Here are a few resources that you might find useful:

1. Codecademy's Learn the Command Line Course: It's an interactive course that covers the basics of command-line interfaces (CLI). It's beginner-friendly and allows you to practice as you learn.

2. Learn Enough Command Line to Be Dangerous: This is a part of the 'Learn Enough to Be Dangerous' series by Michael Hartl. It's a great resource for beginners and covers the basics and beyond.

3. OverTheWire's Bandit Wargame: This is a fun and engaging way to learn terminal commands. It's a series of capture-the-flag style challenges where you use terminal commands to solve puzzles.

4. man pages: Don't forget about the built-in manual pages in the terminal. You can access them by typing 'man' followed by the command you want to learn about. They can be a bit hard to read at first, but they're incredibly detailed and useful once you get used to them.

5. Practice: The best way to get comfortable with the terminal is to use it regularly. Try to incorporate it into your daily workflow as much as possible. Even simple tasks like navigating directories or managing files can be good practice.

Remember, like any other skill, it takes time and practice to become proficient at using the terminal. Don't get discouraged if it feels overwhelming at first. Stick with it, and you'll get there.


I think the HN search already meets my needs. It would be great if comments could be opened on historical excellent posts.


Is there any empirical evidence to demonstrate that AI can read my mind?


It's all business.
