I’m mostly a Linux casual who ended up working in not computers so it’s knowledge that’s useful for a month out of a year and hard to retain 😅 This article is what I wish the man page examples were
I get you, I have to look up the same stuff all the time because I don't use it often enough. A good alternative to man pages I found is tldr. There's a web app if you don't want to install it either: https://tldr.inbrowser.app/

Great to hear. In my day-to-day job I use grep all the time against of directory of 50k plus text files. It's a great tool to learn and utilize.

These days I prefer rg (ripgrep) instead. However, i love to grep on servers.
