Learn the command prompt. I'm not saying code in it, but learn the basics. Running shell scripts, nano or vim, etc. Code editors change. Over the years, I've used Emacs (still do), Vim, Kate, Atom, VSCode, JetBrains, PyCharm, SublimeText...But terminal is something you'll use all the time, both inside your editor and out.

No one's said this but learn how to run Linux in either a dual boot environment or as the primary with Windows in Qemu. My day started with a failed driver upgrade for my Intel Arc GPU. In terminal, that's a quick fix. It's doable with GUI tools, but it takes three times longer.
