'Clean your desk': My Amazon interview experience

Today I used "man" to check some parameters of a command. I felt such a rush knowing that I cheated the system.

I think I know what you mean. I had to run a few commands using the `--help` flag this morning to look up features that I wasn't sure they could do. It just feels so _dirty_.

At least we know now that we can't be counting on you in situations of dire need - like https://xkcd.com/1168/.

If you want to cheat a little more you can try tldr: https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr/

It gives actual examples of commands, just like a cheatsheet does.
