It took me far too long to realise that relying on a physical notepad to save my shell commands was holding me back. There is something frankly absurd about claiming to have a high performance terminal setup while frankly absurd digging through sticky notes to find a command I used last week.

I have finally binned the notepad and moved everything into XC. It acts as a digital brain for the commands I simply refuse to memorise. It handles the GPG encryption so I do not have to worry about API keys sitting in plain text, and the template engine sorts out the variables so I do not have to rewrite the same string every time an IP changes.

If you are still clinging to a handwritten log or a messy text file, it is probably time to move on. It is a lot quicker than trying to decipher your own handwriting three months down the line.
