I skipped learning the terminal for 8 months because it looked like DOS, and watching a file rename go from 40 clicks to 5 seconds broke my brain | Coding For Beginners - nhfree.com
8 months of clicking through menus when typing one command could've done it in seconds is wild to me. I get that the black screen looks scary at first, but that's just how computers worked before everything got icons. Once you see a batch rename happen in one line you can never go back to right clicking each file.
