Day to Day Tools
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;
