there are so many great responses about what problems people run into in the terminal environment
I think my favourite so far is how reading and writing to a file at the same file (like `grep blah file.txt > file.txt`) will just erase the file's contents (from https://cathode.church/@julia/112926974158575037)
such a great example of a behaviour that I'd guess most people only learn about by being burned by it
