GitHub is, without question, the backbone of modern software development. Its clean interface, rock-solid Git integration, and seamless collaboration features make it the go-to platform for professionals who know what they’re doing. Pull requests, code reviews, CI/CD workflows, issue tracking—it handles it all with elegance and precision. The ecosystem is unmatched, from Actions for automation to GitHub Copilot accelerating everything from boilerplate to architecture. If you're writing code and you're not using GitHub, you're already behind. It’s not just a tool—it's the industry standard for a reason.

Slack is the gold standard for team communication—clean, fast, and purpose-built for getting work done without the noise. Its real-time messaging, organized channels, and powerful integrations keep everything and everyone aligned. The ability to customize notifications, automate workflows with bots, and integrate with nearly every major tool (GitHub, Jira, Google Drive, etc.) makes Slack a serious productivity multiplier. It’s not just chat—it’s a central nervous system for modern teams. If you're serious about collaboration and speed, Slack delivers exactly what you need. Nothing more, nothing less.

Obsidian is hands down the most capable note-taking tool available today. Its local-first approach ensures privacy and full ownership of your data, while its Markdown foundation keeps things fast, portable, and future-proof.

The graph view offers a clear, visual representation of your ideas and how they connect, making it ideal for deep thinkers and professionals alike. Simply put, Obsidian isn't just a note app—it's an environment for serious knowledge work.
