My one-shot memory worsened with years but grasping concepts from examples got much better due to experience. So I find walls of text much less useful than a continuous “synopsis” of snippets and best practices. One usage example is worth a hundred of words and few pages of it may be worth a whole manual, especially when “at hand” through editor means. For bash idk if that exists on the internet, so I maintain my own in my one big text file. I wish every manual had the synopsis-only section (maybe I should just LLM these).
