When I was first starting out in software engineering, it felt like there was a never-ending barrage of tooling to learn. After more than a decade in CLI environments, I still find myself constantly learning new features and fun facts - but it’s fairly rare that I learn something new that I end up using day-to-day.
I wanted to share some things I learned at relatively late stages in the game that ended up being significant productivity boosters for me - perhaps some of them are well-known, but in the spirit of this XCKD, I hope that someone reading this might pick up something new.
I should’ve just looked it up but got lazy to be honest.
I use Dreamhost to connect to IRC support channels using
irssi
. I go through Dreamhost since it hides my home IP address. It disconnects me frequently. This would be very useful.Thank you for the info.
