A Senior Developer working mostly with PHP and JavaScript, with a bit of Python thrown in for good measure, all on Linux. My tooling is simple, it's GitLab and JetBrains where possible.
I'm a huge fan of the (relatively) straight forward find command. When coupled with -exec, you can do some pretty creative things, fairly quickly.
I've used find historically for getting backup files which are more than 2 weeks old, and deleting them. It's a simple way of keeping backups from taking over hard drive space, without needing to do everything manually

Going to be boring and say grep. I think a lot of people have it as a go-to tool to filter the returned output of a command into something useful.
I don't spend a lot of time in the terminal using Linux/Unix specific commands. Most of my time on the terminal is spend using Git, and increasingly more often, redis-cli
Yeah. git grep is super handy to find files with particular snippets of code.
I started with competitive programming recently and I used to save code as filename.py and then testcase_filename for the testcases. ls | grep -v testcase came in handy to code files and clear the noise.
