Great post, this is a really good reminder. I often feel a fear of missing out by not learning the next hot thing. Ironically, learning how to use Linux better has been one of the most effective uses of my time for being more productive at work. Going back to the basics is important!
I'm a small business programmer. I love solving tough problems with Python and PHP. If you like what you're seeing, you should probably follow me here on dev.to and then checkout my blog.
You've helped me make my point. You surveyed the landscape and chose to learn Linux because (I assume) you thought it would help you. That's excellent.

Thanks for your comments, Andrew.

That's so true! If your application runs in a Linux environment, spending a little time over at tldp.org pays dividends!
As a PHP Developer, learning Linux/Unix commands and philosophy has been a real boon for my development speed.
