I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
Commands with long paths don't matter. You make sure they're either installed to somewhere on your $PATH (which is going to be the case with anything installed from a repo) or you copy/link them somewhere like $HOME/bin and add that to your path in your shell configuration. The only time I need to know the full path to something is when I'm writing a cron job, and then I can find it using which or locate if I need to.
There's also tldr.sh and its accompanying client that can be installed with npm, which has a pretty large database of community-provided examples. Mostly these are similar to the examples provided at the end of man pages, but there are a lot more of them and they're presented without extraneous fluff. I don't really use it because I tend to forget it exists, and can almost guarantee that whatever I'm looking for is the one weird case that nobody thought to make as an example, so I end up back at the manual anyway!
