> I am curious how having your history is your greatest force multiplier. Doing a ctrl + r to fuzzy search the history is very powerful. I could honestly not imagine working without that. Do you never have to type the same command twice, or re-use common commands?

I tend to just make a habit of memorizing commands that I repeatedly use. That or I make a script to automate it if I find myself repeating the same action.

I've seen somebody with a 1k+ lines long bashrc. They apparently put every useful command in there. Not sure how much better that approach is, I suppose it's similar to using bookmarks vs browsing history.

If it is something I used recently, I use ctrl+R or up arrow, but if it’s not there anymore, I just retype. It’s not so bad for me.
