Ask HN: What are your "oh wow, that's useful" tricks and tools?

1 pointsby pathdependentalmost 11 years ago
For example, I remember thinking "awesome!" when I stumbled upon `git stash` and `tee`. I'd like to know if there are any useful tricks I'm missing, so I'm asking HN for a sample.

AutoIt. The things one can do with it, while keeping code small are almost unbelievable.<p>Here is a script I wrote to get (some) images from Reddit. It was written for my own use, so the UI and error checking are not ideal. You just paste the subreddit URL you want to scrape from, chose the number of images, close the listview, choose the destination directory and wait till the program exits. <a href="http://pastebin.com/mzrqn4gj" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pastebin.com&#x2F;mzrqn4gj</a>
