I love yes it is an amazing tool. I never had an actual use for it since any tool I might want to use it on (like apt) already has some kind of command line switch for it already

But I just once in a while stumble across yes again and run it for half a minute and have a chuckle.

Just like every time I read: https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.html

Aw man that thing was so useful during University. The assignment submission tool required saying yes a million times as it explain how the whole thing worked for every submission.

Piping yes into it was so much faster.
