I think the point is that you should use Longer names where possible.

Powershell’s Set-Location is better than shell’s cd.

Invoke-Webrequest is better than curl.

npm install —-global is better than npm i -g.

There was a need for names to be short forty years ago. We don’t have that anymore.

You might know that you’re dealing with x, y coordinates but how do I know there is no z?

Senior developers tell me to fix the problem in the correct spot. We can have aliases but the default should be long names.
