Do you actually know what's listening on your server right now?
ss -tulnp
If you see a port you didn't put there, that's a problem. Run this after every new software install. Takes 2 seconds. Might save you from a very bad day.

@itsaaroshi Definitely necessary to under the code that AI generated for you, debug it, and explain it to your clients! Nothing more shameful that being unable to explain what is being coded in front of a client...

You deployed a bug. git log has 400 commits. You have no idea which one broke it.
git bisect start → mark known bad/good commits → Git search and drops you on the exact culprit.
This is legitimately one of Git's best features.

Disk filling up mysteriously? This is your friend:
du -sh * | sort -h
Sorted by size, largest offenders at the bottom. Docker cache, old journal logs, and forgotten downloads reveal themselves in about 10 seconds.

Killed a process but it came back? You killed the child, not the parent.
pkill -f "node server.js" kills every matching process.
kill $(lsof -t -i:3000) kills whatever's holding a port.
Know your tools before kill -9 everything!

"Connection refused" and "connection just hangs" are not the same problem at all.
Refused → nothing is listening.
Hanging → a firewall is silently dropping packets.
Wrong diagnosis = 30 minutes debugging the wrong thing.

Add one word to EXPLAIN ANALYZE and it gets 10× more useful.
BUFFERS shows cache hits vs disk reads. That's often the difference between "slow query" and "slow query that's also hammering your disk."

Two new free tools just shipped:
→ chmod Calculator — set permissions visually, get the exact command. No more guessing. → Project Planner — structure your project before chaos sets in.
Free. No account needed.

Hot take: SHA-256 is designed to be fast, which means a GPU can try 10 billion hashes/second against your database.
Use bcrypt and argon2id instead! They are designed to be slow, but that's the entire point.

A basic Node.js Docker image: 1.2GB.
The same app with a multi-stage build: 180MB.
With distroless: under 100MB.
You compile in one container. You copy the output into another. The build tools never make it into production.

git stash just ate your new files. Of course it did.🙃
It only saves tracked files by default.
git stash -u → includes untracked files
git stash -a → includes ignored files too
The flag you should've known about on day one.👍

@itsaaroshi All depends what you develop and on which OS, but for websites or business applications in most cases 16GB is probably the sweet spot!

The most underrated prompt engineering trick: tell the model who it's talking to.
"Explain this to a junior dev who knows Python but has never touched Docker" gets a fundamentally better answer than "explain Docker."
