I have been using the command line for all type of work for years now. The most satisfying is to realize that there is always more to learn. And once you grasped the basics, they fit together like LEGO bricks.

While I think it's important to make that argument, the posted article and the one it refers to lack some guidance on how to reach "command line mastery". I recently came across this great resource here on HN:

https://github.com/jlevy/the-art-of-command-line

It gives great overview of the toolbox you have on the command line. Equipped with `man` you're ready to optimize your everyday work. And always remember to write everything down and ask yourself WHY something works the way it works. The interface of the standard tools is thought out very well. Getting comfortable with this mindset pays off.
