First ones that come to my mind would be Markdown and Emmet.
Increases my productivity and I use them every day.
What are some of your skills that were easy to pick up and then became a main part of your dev routine?

React.js, I only learn selected topics such as the basicweb component and lifecycles,looping,props, andstates. Just enough for me to creating UI Templating to pleasing my client's frontend dev team.I only spend time learning something that is valuable to me. And learning something for others, but not in full learning, usually, only the right amount.
C++ ... nah thats a joke :D
Yeah, i learn Markdown in one day. For me its not a Programming Language, its more like distinctive language.
I've known C++ for 8 years now, I've written 4 complex games in it, and I've taken 3 college courses utilizing it including Data Structs and Algorithms and I can still proudly say I have no idea what I'm doing in C++ 😂
Yeah, motivate me 🤣🤣🤣
Learning the basics of
git,Github&Markdownmade my workflow a lot smoother.+ Not really a skill but CodeSandBox makes prototyping so much faster I felt I should mention it. I use it everyday to code simple features without having to setup an entirely new dev environment.
Existential dread.
You must work in higher ed :D
print('DID THAT WORK')doesn't matter which language, use this to this day for debugging.
Same for me. The day I realized the power of this, I never looked back. Honestly it is so powerful, I never used another debugger.
agree! I wouln't say I never used another debugger since then, but it is indeed a great start before you go and dig down with any debugger, just to determine an area of the error.
Honestly, none.
Blaming other developers for your misfortune.
lol, this made my day 😂😂
Among Us is just a game about standup meeting. :D
ajajajajajajajaaj
Like, at birth.
Python.Erhm, ok.. for real though, coming from C++, I was really amazed by what I can achieve with Python (in such a few lines of code!!!). Long story short, I was solving programming challenges for an Exam for a Uni course, then some colleagues where I've had my first internship suggested me Python to solve such challenges (HackerRank style). I've grabbed this tutorial series from Socratica, I've fully understood the syntax and then the next day I've tried solving the challenges... And I discovered that every idea that I had, it could be produced elegantly in Python code, and it just worked!
My 2 cents about this: If you've mastered any other programming language, I think it's easier (and really fast) to learn (at least at syntax level) another programming language, especially while solving programming challenges or while making a project in that new language (especially Python).
The IDE RStudio for the R language.
Learning the basics of RStudio made learning R less daunting. It was my Activation Energy, lol.
BUT I also agree with @cescquintero ! There is no silver bullet, all of the toughest goals were hard-won.
Oh lord, clearly Emmet (don't know how I lived without him), Markdown and Git basics :)
p.d.: Idea for another post: "What's the development skill you have taken the longest to master?". You have to do it, Madza :P
