You’re 100% right.

But I defy anyone’s mouse-foo to come anywhere near the speed of my typing speed and alias list.

Even someone mastering GUI keyboard shortcuts isn’t going to be able to match, because my terminal is optimized beyond what is possible in a more graphical app.

What I’m trying to say is that no one can introduce a thoughtless mistake into production code as quickly as I can.

The real metric is dollars per second of destroyed hardware ;)

I once watched an engineer blow up a $200k prototype with a terminal alias.

That’s impressive. I’m glad I don’t have any story to match that. Hopefully they find it hilarious now. Probably no fun at the time.
