Just a few that I've found liberating over the past few years:

1. In memory caches for small projects / one-offs.

Redis and memcache are sometimes not needed. Wrapping your cache in an class whose storage is dependency injected is a nice way to keep moving along.

2. grep

Not much to say here other than it's a great search tool. Admittedly, I'm still learning working on wielding it even better

3. Piping output: [CMD] > myoutput.txt

Lifesaver for large output.
