Overwhelmingly a great resource, though I will nitpick at this one:

>Globbing is easier to use correctly than find.

For very simple purposes or small file trees, sure. Outside that: find is incredibly more powerful, and worth using in many cases. If nothing else, learning to use `find . -path ignore_this_path -prune -o *.ext -print` can change e.g. a Go project script from visibly-slow to instant. (e.g. the latest place I used this went from 1-5+ (hot vs cold) seconds to 5-50ms)
