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 a lot, 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 a lot of scrapes and save me a lot of time this year
Hostess; Because I am lazy and want to use a tool to manage my host’s 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 writing I am doing I found this useful
