After watching the GIF on the README.md I was like "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE" (actually just the past 10'ish years)!!!
Then I was like, I bet quite a few ancient wizards out there have some pretty amazing techniques they have picked up over the year. And that it would be great to be a "fly on the wall" watching some of these wizards do simple tasks. And that a YouTube channel watching them do simple tasks could be quite revealing and therefore very educational.
Paul Irish did something like this a few years ago and I still use a bunch of the tools he introduced into my purview. Really, really improved productivity!

All I've ever found has been tutorials. I want to watch unix veterans use the tools. I've found that to be the best way to learn. Hell, that's how I learned vim.
- kapad 8y agowhich channel did you use to learn vim?
- catacombs 8y agoNo channels specifically. I've watched these videos as a good primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsWY-8n9igM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsWY-8n9igM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NUO4JEtkDw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NUO4JEtkDw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blpCz9HsUaA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blpCz9HsUaA
- greggyb 8y agoNot a series, but a great one-off video by Gary Bernhardt, A Raw View into my Unix Hackery, linked below. I haven't bought his courses, but based on what I've seen of his talks and free material, they may get you part of the way (but I don't think all of the way) to what you're describing. If anyone has taken his courses, I'm sure they could give better feedback on those. Either way, watch the video. https://vimeo.com/11202537 https://vimeo.com/11202537
