Unix is like `tail -f log.txt` and windows is like *chick chick boom*

Probably run from your application root directly. In this example I have use a ruby or rails project.
For years I've run tail -f log.txt and have easily committed that to memory.
Now doing some Ruby stuff on Windows (IKR!) and elegance is just not a thing.
Get-Content '.\log\log.txt' -tail 100 -wait
I just can never remember the Get-Content bit. Not to mention which direction the ticks go... oh and also that -wait bit at the end... what a breakfast!
