it knows how gradle.build and pom.xml files are formatted, and it knows how to use regex to parse that formatting correctly on the first try, and it knows how to modify a fond command to find exactly what build files i want to search, and it knows how to format the output
almost nobody knows how to do all those things off the top of their head. lots of people have done all of those things but can’t rattle of perfect syntax for all of those things on the first try
even if you could memorize all those things and spit them out perfectly on the first try, you also have to put together an efficient plan to get specifically what you want and how you’re going to use these commands you have perfectly memorized
and uh…i’m not a bash programmer. almost nobody is. i’m better than probably 80% of devs at it but nobody writes commercial software in bash so nobody spends 40 hours a week in it. and it’s a weird archaic syntax with weird kinks that are hard to remember!
