Every common command has a short alias, or often multiple short alias. Get-ChildItem => "ls", "gci". Get-Content => "gc", "cat". These aliases are standardized,

Every common command has a short alias, or often multiple short alias. Get-ChildItem => "ls", "gci". Get-Content => "gc", "cat". These aliases are standardized, you can look them up with Get-Alias (or "gal" ;) ). It means that working in the terminal, you can use short commands, and when you write a long-term script, you use the long names so that the script is more readable. What I find great is that flags also have aliases that are standardized across commands. This is why I'm annoyed at this meme. It just stems from ignorance.
