generic highly useful advice
technology
- bind
ls -tr to ls if you live in the terminal
- use jupyter notebooks / better REPLs (ie ptpython)
.pythonstartup with ptpython is good for autoimporting stuff like json and defining helper functions
- tiling window manager is » the alternatives
- thunderbird
- clipboard manager!! (i like parcellite)
people
- be nice, it literally doesn’t cost you anything and is often beneficial/can make you feel good
- reach out to anyone you find interesting and start conversations. even irl, in public
