  1. Tooling is an interesting topic. There are some basics, like debugging, though that can be a rather large topic by itself, but overall you can waste quite a bit of time by exploring different tools, without necessarily finding much benefit. Language servers, fuzzy search and editor (whatever your preference) shortcuts are probably the most impactful for day-to-day workflow, personally I like to explicitly trigger the (language server) suggestions, but that's a matter of preference. For a good flow, I also prefer my tools to be very light, so my thoughts don't start to wander. Beyond that, it's difficult to estimate what tooling to spend the time to learn, especially since much of the time the decision of which tools to use is out of our hands as individual developers.
