Recursively counting the number of Markdown files in a directory

I have a directory full of Markdown notes I've accumulated over a decade and a half. Sometimes I like to count them so I can feel good about myself.

Here's how you do this using find:

$ find ~/Obsidian/Main/Journal/ -type f -name "*.md" | wc -l

But I prefer fd over find:

$ fd -t f -e md . ~/Obsidian/Main/Journal/ | wc -l
