Excellent talk. She seems to be a very likable person. She is right about Bash being full of "gotchas" and trivia and memorizing them all is very hard, but I think it is nice to memorize some trivia. For instance, I tended to forget the order of the arguments of the find command, and I would lose time trying to remember its syntax when I'm in front of a machine with no readily available internet connection. So I committed to learning and memorizing the most common command line tools and some of their "gotchas". I used Anki for that, and some mnemonics, and the return on the investment has been worth it I think.
