If your after specific tools in a workflow...

- the :normal command in Vim and Evil. - learning to use tags to navigate code.

But more generally learning how to take something seemingly complex like Linux or Git and then delve in and read the code and understand how it actually works. Learning to read good technical books and manuals and understand how something was designed and how it was designed to be used.

Colleagues think I work magic; in reality I'm just as thick as they are, I just RTFM.

hahaha...that's my 'secret'

recently I've been paralyzed by the amount of development in ML/DL/RL. Often I have to step back and remind myself to focus on the fundamentals.
