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.
Learning the basics of
git
,Github
&Markdown
made 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.
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++ π
Yeah, motivate me π€£π€£π€£
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).
lol i actually mastered how to google out errors and code problems in a day
C'mon, gimme some hug.
Here
Honestly, none.
Git for sure
Git and Python.
gRPC. Quickstart in documentation clearly explained requires concepts with samples for unary, server streaming, client streaming and bi-directional streaming RPC.
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.
