  "textContent": "I used to open files the slow way: `cd` into a directory, `ls` to see what’s there, maybe `find` with a half-remembered filename, then pass it to whatever program I needed. Every time, I’d lose a few seconds hunting for the right path. Multiply that by dozens of files a day, and it adds up to real friction.\n\nThen I found fzf, and file selection stopped being a chore. fzf is a fuzzy finder that turns file selection into a fast, interactive search.",
