  • jq

    Discontinued Command-line JSON processor [Moved to: https://github.com/jqlang/jq] (by stedolan)

  • Learn a bit of jq if you need to work with json. It comes in handy.

  • tmux

  • Learn your terminal application too. A more advanced rabbithole is tmux, but simple panes/tabs in a terminal that supports them is perfectly fine for your development machine.
