Small programming tricks
Day to day, I think a surprising amount of engineering productivity comes from small nuggets of knowledge: being aware that a language feature exists; knowing that an unexplained tcp delay is probably related to the TCP_NO_DELAY setting and Nagle’s algorithm; knowing the right git incantation to get out of a pickle; or knowing a trick with sed to rewrite a file.
