Firefox 30's developer console has many nice touches, such as displaying objects in a more helpful manner: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Web_Console#Inspecting_objects
"a Perl module would prefer that you stayed out of its living room because you weren't invited, not because it has a shotgun."
Interactive incremental grep: https://github.com/peco/peco really really handy.
