Kudos to the author for their honesty in admitting AI use, but this killed my interest in reading this. If you can use AI to generate this list, so can anyone. Why would I want to read AI slop?
HN already discourages AI-generated comments. I hope we can extend that to include a prohibition on all AI-generated content.

If the author had also included a note explaining that he'd *reviewed* what the AI produced and checked it for correctness, I would be willing to trust the list. As it is, how do I know the `netstat` invocation is correct, and not an AI hallucination? I'll have to check it myself, obviating most of the usefulness of the list. The only reason such a list is useful is if you can trust it without checking.
Not bad, but one big criticism, never do a 'kill -9' first, that will stop the program from cleaning up after itself if killed using -9.
Use one of these instead:
-TERM then wait, if not
-INT then wait, if not
-HUP then wait, if not
-ABRT
If you are sure all of these fail, then use -9 (-KILL). But assume the program has a major bug and try and find another program that will do the same task and use that instead.
My most used windows command is, and will always be, `ls`.
Then I'm reminded that it's not a know file or directory.
It's been nearly 20 years since powershell came out.

I recently had a similar idea. https://github.com/Water-Run/Cmdset
findstr is an underappreciated command line tool. I use it a lot
ok, but how do i get the only linux command i know?
ctrl+r
Works just fine in powershell. Avoid using command prompt and life is already a bit better
