@b0rk yes, this! so so much this!

like, what is this fictitious world in which every aspect of every tool is learned right away? everybody looks at things from a perspective informed by where they are at that moment and what they want to do. sometimes, that puts the spotlight away from (otherwise) foundational tools. sometimes that puts one in positions where memorising 1–2 command variations without fully understanding the entire tool is good enough(tm).

and everybody has these ‘blind spots’ – i.e. things that were more front and centre for somebody else.

it’s silly to pretend otherwise.
