I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I only use a couple, because I'm not overly keen on aliases.
I use them for cosmetic things, like alias pacman='pacman --color=always'. That's safe, because it's not changing the way I would expect pacman to work on my system, a foreign system or in a shell script.
I also have a couple of hyper-specific things that I put in aliases just because they're too small to bother with making into scripts :)
