This was awesome! I always found find (no pun intended :P) to be a very human unfriendly tool. There's just so many things that made less than zero sense and I eventually got way too tired of having to account myself for .git, files and folders from .gitignore and things like that so I switched to fd and never looked back. Certainly a worthwhile alternative to look at for people like me who can never remember find syntax :)

Thanks for the comment. The purpose of this post was to enlighten with the basics before moving towards the easier and friendlier alternative. I am definitely going to post about fd so that everyone can make use of simple, fast, and user-friendly alternative to 'find'.
Oh I definitely get the sentiment about the post, my mention of fd was more about how frustrating find can be to use with just the manpages. If I had this post 2 years ago I'd probably never have foundfd!
