What are some lesser known items or tricks in your profession that most people don’t know about?

For me one thing would be Thrift drain cleaner. I was having issues with my drains being clogged and nothing really worked, but looking around on forums and advice from plumbers lead me to Thrift and now my drains work great.

Going with a lesser known trick for software engineers: for VS Code, there is a setting to make your tabs go on top of each other rather than going off the screen. So then, you don't have to scroll for the tab you want and you can instead just visually look.

Also, yeah, yeah, I know about Neovim, and yes, I've tried it many times. It's just not a worthwhile tradeoff for me.

Spill the beans! What’s the trick? Where’s this setting?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

It's "Workbench > Editor: Wrap Tabs" or, if you don't use the UI, it's workbench.editor.wrapTabs and it's a bool

myself, I always prefer visually looking, rather than audibly or olfactory.
