Ignoring that I write software to analyze biological data in a lab, so everything I write is really just for me (and includes a lot of infrastructure type code like a sub-request authentication server for nginx)… Two programs that to wrote just to make my life easier: one for viewing tab delimited data in a tabular TUI, and another for getting data from my server back to my local machine without using scp. The second one is actually quite handy. To use it, you start a daemon on your local machine. Then when you SSH to the server, it creates an SSH tunnel back to the local daemon. The tunnel is setup to use a Unix socket, so you don’t have authentication issues to worry about (just file permissions). Then to send a file back to your local computer, it’s just “rtun send remote1 {remote2…} local”. The best part though, is if you want to view a remote image, you can run “rtun view file1 {file2…}” and it will open the image locally (it transfers the file as a temp file and calls “open”, etc). When you generate a bunch of figures remotely, being able to open them locally from the remote command line is very helpful.
