TIL, but that’s my point. If after many years of doing this and leading the development on one of the top utilities on homebrew I don’t immediately know the answer to these things, how could anyone.

UX is FAR more important in the CLI than even on the web. Users don’t just have to be able to learn what they want to do, for these common tools they have to memorize it or they won’t use it. Minor things like the order of the flags and bits like having to escape the semicolon don’t just make it challenging. I would argue for 99% of users they make it impossible.

In other words, I think 99% of users don’t know how to use this level of find and will never learn. That’s a problem and no amount of education is going to fix it. The tool itself is broken.
