Developers are so opinionated that its difficult to pin down one favourite tool !
Writing stuff in Rust
Keyboard. (Even virtual is ok) It’s really hard to write code without it.
I love my new clickety Keychron 😄

Pen and paper.
Most dev I know underestimate the power of scribling what pass through their head when thinking about a problem.
Also I don’t know if it count but learn regex, it’s the best way to parse text ever made.

Vim
Shell scripts. The power of automation is amazing.
Especially when you keep them small, simple, and composable.
What’s a shell script that you’re particularly chuffed with in terms of how much time/effort it saved you?

Basically, it takes a file name, then creates a .sh file, and puts the shebang
into it.Very simple, yet it saves me from having to manually do it every time.
coffee machine has the most impact
No pour over with hand grinder? For SHAME!
Gotta give a shoutout to SourceGit
Its the first git GUI that is actually clear and comfortable to use for me and makes relatively complicated git actions like interactive rebase easy.
I’m slowly growing support for it at work and trying to get it in the pool of projects we donate to at work. (Have not checked if they allow donations, I probably should)
The F12 menu is the only one you need.

@slazer2au how do you use this particular key ?
Gently apply pressure to it until a light click sound manifests.

I love LinqPad
For a quick glance at the code on mobile, you can put
view-source:in front of the URL in IronFox.I use Kiwi Browser on Android, opens the Chrome Dev tools in a new tab, great fun
Google doesn’t count does it?
Not anymore!
As sad as this is, its true. For niche things especially.
