My interns all like Eclipse, which makes me feel like an old man.

Steal a Makefile from somewhere. Go to town.

I am using Cxxtest on my current project. It is a pretty decent package.

Personally, I would do all my development on Debian/Ubuntu if I could, because getting a new package or library is so easy with apt-get. Pip and Cpan are pretty great, too.

NFS is a real pain. I am not saying don't use it, but, man. What crap.

I think sed and awk have their uses, still, even in a post-perl world. I used split recently! For loops are pretty great.

I use nm and objdump a lot, but that's because my job is weird.

Valgrind if you're not using a memory managed language.

I don't do anything without git in 2015.
