A lot of times (especially when working with kubernetes) happens that you need to extract certain arguments with one command and use them in the middle of another. A quick way to deal with it is through usage of xargs with -I arg.

For example:

kubectl get ns -o name | xargs -I "{}" kubectl label {}...

One of the biggest annoyances while using aws cli for me was the fact that the command’s output was not printed to standard stdout but it was opened in less like session, which was very annoying if you needed to copy several entries from the output result.
