Great article that very much mirrors our blog content guide for our SAAS we're promoting through organic search. Though unfortunately search engines are still too dumb to understand many of these points and it's such a struggle to find balanced ground between nice for humans and nice for machines :|

"Use long versions of command-line flags": Ha, I wish devs did this always, like in obscure build/CI script steps where you always forget what flags do. For 7, 8, 9, feels like there's a balance not to automate too much because the snippets start to get scary/complex and hard to debug? 🤔

Yeah, my larger philosophy is that you should always use long flags in any writing or code. I don't encounter situations where the snippets get that long because they're for pretty narrowly-scoped things like populating a file or installing a package, but I agree on limiting complexity there
