Classes teach you all about advanced topics within CS, from operating systems to machine learning, but there’s one critical subject that’s rarely covered, and is instead left to students to figure out on their own: proficiency with their tools. We’ll teach you how to master the command-line, use a powerful text editor, use fancy features of version control systems, and much more!

The author: “Radical Simplicity is a startup development method to make development faster and more fun that plays well with lean startups”

Mentioned as a wonderful two pane FINDER replacement. I have been looking for years for a suitable replacement for a classic app NORTON COMMANDER. Maybe this is the one?
