if the article is saying to use 'fzf' to fuzzy-find things, why do we want to install 'fd' to multi-thread find things alongside fzf ?

Just to explain a bit more... fzf is able to fuzzy-search a list for the input string. When it shows a list of directories, it relies on `find` to do so.

fzf is also more suited to interactive search, while fd is more of a "give me a list" thing.
