> Command line apps reward repeated use, but they lack in discoverability.

The biggest thing preventing me from learning more CLI explained in one sentence, I'll definitely be looking into this.

I highly recommend:

cmd —help

man cmd

ls -la /usr/share/doc/cmd

While some of the language can be daunting, it is generally good reads. And these days we have ChatGPT etc that can help explain tricky words etc in more context, even if you native language is not English.

My new default advice actually for junior developers here in Sweden. Works for many other tech areas too, not just the terminal.

Ah, yes. In English we used to spell that R-T-F-M.

Lack in discoverability compared to what? GUI apps? Web browsers? LOL. Those are intentionally designed to make you use them inefficiently.
