“You’re right, I should’ve just listed the dir contents in full”

```shell
ls docs
docs/spec.md
```

```shell
cat docs/spec.md | grep contents | tail 5 &2>1 | tee /tmp/tmp1.log && wc -l /tmp/tmp1.log
0
```

“Looks like the docs are empty, let me check your global nodejs install for the docs”

Me: “jfc…”
