@b0rk I’ve been coding for 40 years. I still learn new things every day. And forget other ones every day. We’re people, not books.

@aral @b0rk Exactly, especially the "forget other ones every day". I think by now I've learned the order of the parameters to "ln -s" about a dozen times or so. 🤷

@mmeier If it's useful to you, I did notice that ln is symmetric to cp, in that you create a new file from a source (and you can also leave out the new file's name and just specify the containing directory). One command copies the contents, the other just references the source.

But tbh, I just remembered the melody of "target link name" at some point and keep saying it inside my head.
