for some reason I always enter ls, yet I already know what's in my home folder, its a reflex at this point.

I have some some shortcuts to open some of my most used "Go to" SSH locations, I'm too lazy to manually write ssh root@192... so cmd+opt+r ssh into my router, cmd+opt+p ssh into RPi etc...

`~/.ssh/config` is pretty awesome

I started using 'w' as a habit on BBS's back in the day... then kept that up when I had an account on super computers in high school...(https://newfutures.aps.edu/supercomputing) it's still muscle memory for me. I have no idea why as most of the machines I'm on now, I'm the only one with an account.

Old habits die hard. It's just muscle memory at this point.
