What this snippet does
pgrep matches process names without the grep-matching-itself problem.
Expected output
1421 nginx: master process 1422 nginx: worker process 2
Why practise typing this
Typing processes code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Linux uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
