Expectation Versus Reality Terminal Aliases
Expectation: Because the command line interface exposes many powerful commands, terminal users are forced to become masters of precise typing. Reality: 155 alias l='ls' 156 alias s='ls' 157 alias sl='ls' 158 alias ll='ls' 159 alias lsl='ls' 160 alias lss='ls' 161 alias sll='ls' 162 alias sls='ls' 163 alias ssl='ls' 164 165 alias dc='cd'
The meme contrasts the expectation that terminal users master precise command typing with the reality of creating many aliases for common commands and typos. The joke is that instead of improving typing accuracy, the user makes the shell accommodate every likely variation. It is a reaction for programmers or command-line users who repeatedly mistype simple commands.
