"Crackin' the Code: Biggie's Commandments vs Top 10 ZSH Commands"

Welcome to Topbooompop, where we love to merge technology skills with American pop culture, particularly minority culture. In this article, we're going to have a little fun and compare Biggie's "Ten Crack Commandments" lyrics to the top 10 most popular ZSH commands.For those unfamiliar, "Ten Crack Commandments" is a classic hip-hop track by the late great Biggie Smalls, also known as The Notorious B.I.G. In the song, Biggie lays out a set of rules for dealing crack cocaine. On the other hand, Zsh is a Unix shell, similar to Bash, that is widely used in the tech industry. Now, before we get started, we want to give you a friendly reminder to test these commands on a computer that has all of its data backed up.
