The syntax isn't too bad. The problem is that I have to use it a couple of times a year, on average. So every time I've forgotten and have to relearn. This doesn't happen with GUIs nearly as much, and it's why I prefer them over CLI tools for anything that I don't do at least once every week or two.

- bigiain 1y agoI started making sure my notes included the search queries keywords/keyphrases/terminology I uses and any webpages or documentation that I successfully used to come up with the solution (and where relevant, and search queries or misunderstandings on my part that lead to dead ends). This hasn't solved the problem of sometimes needing to do new things, but it at least gives me a map to remind me of the parts of the rabbithole I've explored before.
