My favorite shell trick (not in the link) is this: ~-
Tilde-hyphen expands to the previous directory you were in, and of course "cd -" returns you to your previous directory, so I put them together all the time.
Here's an example workflow (with a fake PS1):
mac:/Users/me/Projects/my_new_app$ cd ~/.pow
mac:/Users/me/.pow$ ln -s ~- .
mac:/Users/me/.pow$ cd -
mac:/Users/me/Projects/my_new_app$
Now I can continue working on my app.

That's bit of a contrived example above. Here's a more
realistic way to do a symlink for pow:
