In my opinion this replaces (and even does a much better job i.e. less typing in the end, less commands to remember) almost everything in the article, especially when combined with https://github.com/rupa/z/. (or the PS counterpart ZLocation). Might be the type of work of course, but ever since I started using this I can go by weeks without needing to manually type cd. After all most of my time is spent in the same directories anyway. And if not, I'm really not manually going to type it, not even tab it, if it can be fuzzy matched since that is nearly always faster. tldr; people do yourself a favor and stop cd'ing around.
