Before googling for something you need to actually realise first that there&#x27;s something that you don&#x27;t know, but could.<p>Lots of useful things don&#x27;t fit that pattern.<p>To take one example from here, I use &#x27;pry&#x27; regularly, but before reading <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jbranchaud&#x2F;til&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;ruby&#x2F;editing-code-in-pry.md" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jbranchaud&#x2F;til&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;ruby&#x2F;editing-c...</a>, I didn&#x27;t even think to wonder whether there was a way to fire up an editor from within it. It&#x27;s not something I&#x27;ve ever actively <i>needed</i>, but it&#x27;s a very useful shortcut now that I know about it.
