My best friend learned how the shell works because of bandcamp.

He spent one summer ripping about 400 CDs he owned.

He was ripping them into a directory called .junk. He moved each into the parent directory when it was complete.

And the final command of his project was 'rm -rf . junk'.

Tab to complete is something that everyone eventually discovers is more than just a shortcut.

It's a proofreader too.

[_the_inflator]

400 times 10-20 USD = 4000-8000 USD.

Divided by 20 amounts to 16-33 years. Roughly.

That’s why I don’t bother about CDs anymore. I used to carry them around privately on a NAT Server many years ago, copying them to my iPod.

1. You are assuming the goal is to spend as little money on art as possible. Which isn't the case for a lot of us.

2. Not everything is on Spotify. E.g. the song Golden Girl by Frank Ocean. Or most Neil Young songs.

The final command of his first project, you mean - because surely then he started over?
