I'm not a programmer but I do this on the Linux command line all the time to find a command I used days or weeks ago. Or I'll spend 20 minutes grepping history instead. All to avoid spending 5 minutes reading the manpage so I can remember which flags and arguments I used.

And then you realise your dumb endless ls-ing has pushed the command off the history list

Can you change the history list size?
