Something I've seen lots of people do in examples/videos/tutorials keeps on 
grating on me, and I thought I would share my frustration, and see if anyone 
else shares it. It's totally a non problem, just one of the many things that 
irks me daily lol.

When trying to get some info from a text file, or command output people tend to 






































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































do something like;

$ cat somefile.txt | grep something | wc -l

This would spit out the contents of somefile.txt, pipe it into grep to filter 
out just "something" and then count how many lines contain that "something", 
perfectly a normal thing to do, but it's so bloated and irks me to no end. 
Instead of this overly bloated command one-liner, this can all be achieved in 
just a simple one command;

$ grep -c something somefile.txt

only one process is run, for grep, and it does the exact same job as the overly 






































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































bloated one-liner.

Now I do understand that I shouldn't be worried by such trivial things, but it 
just gets to me, when someone is doing a tutorial, for eg a YT video, they are 
assuming the role of a "teacher" of sorts, and should know better. 

I dunno, that's just me, my quirkiness lol. Don't judge me =)
