alt Hacker NewsXargs is fine, but openbsd has a -J option and every time I read the man page to figure out how to use it I read the -I and -J options and my brain glazes over.
Other brain glazing obsd wierdness is it's two argument cd command, a cryptid I am unable to wrap my head around.

I highly recommend memorizing the POSIX version of every *NIX command and sticking to them. 60% of the time, they work every time. (https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/idx/utiliti...)

The two arg cd is pretty useful (and, zsh implements it too because cd is a shell feature): if you have parallel directory structure (e.g. the way rails does tests) you can switch from app/b/c/d to spec/b/c/f by doing `cd app spec`
