A sudden and explicable feeling awe at the breathtaking pervasive power of &amp;quot;cat&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;ls&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;echo&amp;quot; and how they fit together, and the very idea of a shell with commands and files and directories that you could name, look at, change, and move around. Remembering the excitement of discovering and fitting a new important puzzle piece into the growing model of what I was learning.</text><parent_chain><item><author>tptacek</author><text>I keep pretty quiet about this out of embarrassment (there&amp;#x27;s stuff from me from when I was like 14 still hiding on the Internet --- I think there&amp;#x27;s a tfile somewhere where I breathlessly explain how to use `ls`) but if you email me, happy to share.
