I cant believe i only learned about tldr two weeks ago....

It's been a total gamechanger for me. I have such shitty memory for options flags. I'm pretty comfortable with the terminal and i've been full time linux for 15 years now

But i STILL cant remember common options for basic stuff like tar and curl....

curl output to file.... -O or -o??? Have to look it up every time

Sometimes v is verbose and sometimes it's version MAKE UP YOUR MIND
and then V is version to differentiate it from v for verbose but then sometimes V is equivalent to five vs for some reason,
