Tools that keep me productive

This post details mostly all I use as a developer. I use a Mac, so a bunch of tools are macOS-specific, but there are some OS-agnostic ones in the list.
One thing to mention is that these are the tools that make me productive. Maybe they won’t make you productive like the way they do for me. I always say, use the tools that make you the most productive.

I will definitely use some of them. In my case, I am currently working on Windows. I also use VS Code as a code editor, but also IntelliJ. They’ve made some cool changes in their newer versions that are pretty cool, so I definitely recommend checking them out. In addition to the tools you mentioned, here are a few that I use almost daily. Visual Studio Extensions: GitHub Theme, JSON Crack, Live Share, Phind, Sonar Lint, Paste JSON as Code. In IntelliJ I use Rainbow Brackets, Spring, Checkstyle IDE and JetBrains Ai Assistant. I also use some web browser extensions, such as Tango and JAM. The web browser I use is Brave, another Chromium-based browser with a built-in addblocker and tracker blocker. This is just a short list of my tools, but I hope it helps you find a cool tool for you.

I used to use <code>nvm</code> to manage node versions, but I have moved to <code>mise</code> because it’s polyglot and way faster than <code>nvm</code>.
