Falling in Love with Terminals

There’s something beautiful about a terminal.

No distractions. No fancy UI. Just you and the machine.

It’s honest

$ curl -I https://example.com
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

It doesn’t lie to you. It shows you exactly what’s going on.

GUIs take time. Terminals? Instant.

# Rename all .txt files to .md
for f in *.txt; do mv "$f" "${f%.txt}.md"; done

That one-liner beats any file manager.

I don’t use terminals because I have to.
I use them because they make me feel close to the machine.
