Everything/es.exe for searching every file on disk, its nice for AI agents to use

grep + es.exe on windows is the only way to look for files

ssh and scp just never fails to impress -J for jumping -L for port forwarding -X for pulling remote applications to view on my laptop (waypipe for Wayland) Adding all those, and ips and whatnot to .ssh/config so I just type: ssh foo

SFTP is just simpler and better, if available.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Is there any advantage of screen over tmux? I've kind of switched, I don't see a reason to go back.

screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 ...and easy session sharing

Ah ok true, I forgot I use it for serial stuff very occasionally too.

Big fan of gron[0] and zoxide[1]. Gron for flattening and viewing JSON, and zoxide (z) for fuzzily jumping around on my system or on remote systems with z installed.

Also been using Rad [2] (disclaimer: am author) to replace my suite of Bash scripts and write new ones, quite happy with one atm which sets reminders e.g. 'remind 2h check the CI build' which will give me an OS reminder in two hours, I use it a ton at work.

Suki - https://github.com/grandimam/suki

It's something that i built for myself. I am interested in the topic of building expertise, and spend a lot of time reading books. After a certain I realised that I needed resources that was very specific to my use case and current skill level rather than something that was static.

Suki allows me to build that curriculum, and probes progressively to help me build a real mental model.

Do I have to give just one? I have a whole script to install them! https://github.com/hiAndrewQuinn/shell-bling-ubuntu

Looking over this list I would recommend you check out `fd`, a much faster `find` with an interface that actually fits how people tend to use the tool.

`lnav` is also an excellent local log viewer if you allow TUIs.
