Thanks for the feedback! Good point about the variable names, this article is a pretty broad overview so its no surprise I missed a few details like that. But they, I can always write a few follow-up pieces too.
I agree about it being good to explain why the Shell matters. I think that's actually the most important detail for me, since in the start when I researched it, there's no shortage of guides about how to use it. But until I really understood the why with the Pragmatic Programmer, I never saw why it mattered so much to stick through the learning process and bring that all back to my career. That's likely the part of the article I'd have wanted the most for my past self haha.
