I love yes it is an amazing tool. I never had an actual use for it since any tool I might want to use it on (like apt) already has some kind of command line switch for it already

But I just once in a while stumble across yes again and run it for half a minute and have a chuckle.

Just like every time I read: https://www.gnu.org/fun/jokes/ed-msg.html

Aw man that thing was so useful during University. The assignment submission tool required saying yes a million times as it explain how the whole thing worked for every submission.

Piping yes into it was so much faster.

If Homer had known about the "yes" command the drinking bird would've been out of work.
