tried to understand why cd /tmp | ls doesnt work asked chatgpt “why doesnt this bash pipeline work”
it explained that cd doesnt send output so theres nothing to pipe now i finally get how piping and subshells work

[Youssef EL MEKKAOUI @OGSett]

as a visual INTJ learner i used chatgpt to understand bash pipes by asking “explain bash piping as a flow i can draw” it helped me turn a complex idea into vsomething visual and clear learning feels easier when the tool fits how i think

just took the learning style quiz turns out im a Visual INTJ learner I absorb info best through diagrams sketches and structured breakdowns Knowing this helps me use AI in ways that match how i think and learn.

AI isn t just a shortcut its a smart tool when used right.
prompting properly turns it into a tutor that helps me learn, not just get answers.
i now focus on learning with AI, not from it and thats changed how I grow as a developer.
