how to use the find command?
I mainly rely on locate combined with grep. Using find is frustratingly slow when dealing with big directories.
The tool works well with grep—it reads files directly without needing a pipe from cat. I appreciate the old Unix methods, though the find syntax isn’t my favorite. It’s just a bit tricky sometimes. Using a simpler command would help, but changing find isn’t possible. Anyone know how to improve this?
