For me at least, I took around 2 years of swing dance lessons (1~2 a month). It was HARD, at least for me. It didn't take that long to get through the basics but I never got confident at it and always felt unwelcome at dance events whe

So the only reason I switched to iTerm2 was because I wanted my terminal to change color when I ssh into different hosts. If I ssh into my work machine the terminal turns blue. If I ssh into my home machine the terminal turns purple. I&#x27
