Its been quite a while since I wrote up what I am using on day to day, in fact I seem to have skipped all of 2016.

Desktop Apps

Not too much change on the Desktop …

  • Visual Studio Code↗ ; I started off the year Atom, but this gives me the same functionality and seems quicker
  • Pastebot↗ ; Working in tech means I copy and paste alot, this lets me sync and (not all from StackOverflow↗ )
  • Bear↗ ; For note taking

… still using SublimeText↗ (Still the best text editor around), 1Password↗ , Photoshop↗ , Omnigraffle↗ , Tweetbot↗ & MS Office↗ .

Command line

There have been a few additions …

  • Docker↗ ; Enough said really
  • HTTPie↗ ; Great for testing web based “stuff”
  • Ansible↗ ; Seems to have got me out of alot of scrapes and save me alot of time this year
  • Hostess↗ ; Because I am lazy and want to use a tool to manage my hosts file
  • mas-cli↗ ; To script Mac App Store installations after rebuilds

… as well as still using Home Brew↗ , Cask↗ , StormSSH↗ , known_hosts↗ & Z↗

Services

Finally, using the following services …

  • Digital Ocean↗ , for spinning up test instances
  • AWS↗ ; Using Route53 as well as spinning up test instances
  • asciinema↗ ; Great for demoing stuff
  • Grammarly↗ ; With all of the writting I am doing I found this useful

… along with Github↗ , Pinboard↗ , Feedly↗ and Pocket↗  .

Here are what I was using in 2015, 2014 and 2013;
