Well put. I got very good at typing:

    find . -type f -exec egrep -il "whatever" {} \;
and now I instead type:

    rg whatever
and, somehow, I feel like that's an improvement.

And it automatically ignores the directories like .git, build, node_modules, etc., whatever is in .gitignore, without having to add a bunch of "-prune" clauses.
