Quick and stupid: Don't set unlimited on the buffer size of Terminal
If you're a developer and use Terminal.app, don't set "unlimited" on the buffer size. After a day of using it heavily to review logs and whatnot your computer will be *really* slow. It's Terminal.app keeping in RAM what you did yesterday. Stupid and Obvious, but still figured I'd write it down.

Great point. Certainly don’t do that, and then do “cat /dev/zero”.
Cmd-K will clear the buffer, it’s a command I use all the time to help me keep track of the most recent logfile (or whatever) I’m looking at.
I prefer the unlimited size, it has actually saved me a couple of times
I’ve programmed myself to regularly cmd-k, though
Ah, you mean… discipline, right? I’ve heard that’s a nice feature if you have it
