In my previous job I repeatedly told people that "git grep is a superpower". Especially in a monorepo, but works well in any big repository, really.

To this day I think the same. With the addition that knowing about "git log -S" grants you necromancy in addition to the regular superpowers. Ability to do rapid code search, and especially code history search, make you look like a wizard without the funny hat.
