Best Practice 7 - Keep your Tools & Techniques Handy.

I remember an instance when I wanted to find out debug keyword in all the C++ files available in various directories and sub-directories. It took me 30 minutes to device the command, but finally I kept a note of the following command and whenever I'm in similar need, I use it without wasting a second.

$find . -name \*.cpp -exec grep -q "debug" '{}' \; -print

So I made it one of the best practices to keep such commands and tool handy so that they can be used anytime without doing any R&D and to save valuable time.
