In the Pixar film Cars, Mater demonstrates to Lightning McQueen how to drive backwards. Lightning is astounded. Mater explains, “Don’t need to know where I’m going as long as I know where I’ve been.” Probably not the exact quote but the point is if you know what you’ve done or where you’ve been it makes it very easy to know where you’re going or what to do next. In PowerShell you can take advantage of the shell’s history objects to speed up what you want to do next.
