I am in violent agreement with you. I long to sharpen my kung-fu to those levels... I'm sadly lacking in coworkers with those skills so that I could suck on their brains. I'm only a (fairly) recent convert to unix land... and my professional life is still largely populated with windoze-only folk. What I'd love would be a java-oriented walkthrough for power development. Something that laid out a recipe or three of really good tools and how to use them. Most of what I run across is per-tool. Anybody have any links to something that says, "Learn these 20 things about vi. Set up your directories thusly. Plug ant into vi like this. Plug junit in like this. Step through your code like this. Anybody seen anything like that? Obviously there's a million ways to do it... but I'd think someone would write up "This is the really productive way I do java development."
