Google Chrome
I moved from IE to Chrome and didn't missed much. However it is getting slower and takes a lot of memory and CPU; thinking of moving to Edge since some sites really worked well in Edge but got stuck in Chrome.
Udemy
Bringing such high quality instructors at inexpensive rates ... the discounts are almost year round, hence I buy only during this period. Anyway, many courses are left unfinished, so can wait until discount period

What's great

Cannot imagine doing coding and research without ChatGPT. It should introduce an autofill feature . PS at 20-June: It has introduced autofill feature, and it has become more powerful and the code response is impressive to say the least
GitHub
Amazed by the ease of working with github. Github action is very productive for me in everyday work June 2025 : With Copilot and AI chat capabilities, it has gone to next level
LinkedIn
Only web social media I uses for reading the post of a few amazing people. Will try Linkedin premium some day when I want to switch my job :)

What's great

job search (20)professional networking (38)
Postman
Made API calls so easier and more intuitive; however designing REST API in Postman should be improved from the GUI perspective, also many a time it is slow and unstable.

What's great

api testing (19)

What needs improvement

JetBrains
Best tool for my Java programming; I moved from Eclipse to IntelliJ Idea and never regretted it (although I also like Eclipse) Thank you for introducing Githib Copilot. Please integrate Client and Roo Code as well. I don't want to go to VSCode just for accessing these AI tools
Google
What would be life without Google? :)
Gmail
Not as good as MS Outlook, but since it is free, it is preferable. Setting a meeting is not very intuitive comparably and I hope this will be improved.
Slack
Good way of asynchronous communication. I feel it needs some improvement in searching for relevant items and organizing the information. Sometimes, there is too much irrelevant info which can be time-consuming.
