What developer tool did you discover this year that you loved?

Google Jamboard! Just discovered it last night and my touchscreen laptop suddenly has a use for remote brain storming on HW / SW architecture with my partner.

VSCode. Not a programmer by profession but picked up VSC is my editor after a long break from programming and I loved the overall experience and customisation options it provides (at par with Sublime which I used last time). Still new to development and would love to know from seasoned devs here what they use to code?

For me it would be TailwindCSS. Getting productive in CSS was always quite challenging for me. Tailwind really solves the productivity problem for me.

I didn’t necessarily discover these tools this year but they more or less became a part of my ideal stack for building an app. NextJS/Expo + Tailwind for the frontend. Hasura + Cloud Functions (Firebase/AWS) for the backend.

Some niche tools that impressed me recently: • ripgrep - blazing fast search in projects or logs - https://github.com/BurntSushi/ripgrep • fnm - node version manager - way faster than nvm - https://github.com/Schniz/fnm • trash - saves from accidentally deleting files with rm -rf - https://hasseg.org/trash/

Not a first-order dev tool, but I went for Audible.com subscription. I have been skeptical of audio books and boy I was wrong! Not only audio books give my eyes the needed rest, the narrations do a phenomenal job. Story or tech, books are easy to grasp and easy to focus on .

@victorious-energy-56764 I did the trial for audible but chose go with Scribd. I switched mainly because I wanted a book that’s not there on Audible (It doesn’t have to be crazy at work - Jason & DHH, basecamp), but decided to stick with it for many reasons. Edit: added the link

@victorious-energy-56764 Audible has a feature where you can return books after listening & they will issue a refund.

Nice. TIL.
