Hmmm command not found, let me just try the same command a couple more times, this time it will work right?
In IT teaching users to actually read and understand errors is always an uphill battle.
Tbh I'd try it multiple times too, just because the concept of cd not being there is horrifying and cannot possibly be the case
Very true, I would do the same and feel my stomach drop farther each time.
Also muscle memory. I keep typing aliases I only have on my computer :(
I learned early in my software engineering career these two beautiful rules of debugging:
Unless you were the one writing the program and its error messages - then check, that you didn't mess up there...
Until you write a compiler error in some deeply templated C++ code, in which case just reading every word takes all day
/s but not too much
You see they all different one use / the other use - and ~
/S
Yeah but those are arguments to
cd, the error says command not foundEdit: Sorry didn't see /S
Where is the Windows 'help' button, did you try that?
