I agree with what other people have said about using the command line more and the gui less, that will make you have to learn about utils like find, grep, sed, and maybe awk.

Try learning vim (or emacs). Use some command like tools for stuff you’d do in the gui. Try some basic scripting for common tasks. Maybe write some short python/ruby scripts if you need them. I’ve found that writing code has given me a need for learning more about how the command line works, and other “power user” features.

Have you ever noticed how your stuff is stuff, and other people’s stuff is shit?

I still have my Eee 901 sitting around with my collection of old tech. It actually booted up a couple years ago when I last checked it! Used the crap out of it back in college for computer science classes, since all I really needed was a terminal.

In a similar vein, I’ve been rewatching TNG and find myself thinking that they really should have put a cctv camera in engineering. Could have saved them a lot of trouble.

If the win is out of reach for me, I at least try and make them earn the rest of their victory. The more you make them have to actually work for it, the more they’ll enjoy the win. I guess I kinda think of it like a D&D game where I’m the DM: now my job is to facilitate the other player(s) having fun.

Either that or I’ll ask questions and try to learn, so I can come back stronger next time.
