I've only used tmux for about <year now but I immensely enjoy it.
One of my favorite scripts to run is a tmux script that creates a new session with about 7 windows of running my company's project (one window for notes, 3 windows for the backend (runner, code, tests), and 3 windows for the client (runner, code, tests). It's even tweaked further to open up the code in vim, and when used in conjunction with something like harpoon.nvim I have access to my most used files with a few keystrokes. I now create similar scripts for all projects I work on for lengthy periods.
One script builds and runs the environment in the way I prefer to work. Tailored to my taste, for me.
Probably the best advice that I always took to heart was a co worker telling me to "just learn the command line." He really took the phrase "learn your tools" seriously. Now, after some decent experience, I finally feel like I have a decent box of specialty tools when heading to any job site.
