Developer tools play a pivotal role in shaping my daily workflow, making everything smoother and more efficient. They're like trusted companions, helping me navigate the complex world of coding with ease. My code editor, for instance, is my digital canvas, where I craft the magic of software. It highlights syntax, auto-completes my code, and keeps me error-free. Then there's version control, which is like a time machine, allowing me to revisit past code states and collaborate seamlessly with others. And let's not forget the debugger – it's the detective that hunts down bugs and helps me keep my code squeaky clean. These tools not only save me time but also make the whole development process more enjoyable and productive. In a nutshell, they're my secret sauce for success in the world of coding.

Try GitHub copilot and shift to a pop keyboard, you would love the experience!
Linear is the way to track everything (whether it's code related, or not) about progress of our app. Other than that I really fell for all the AI things that've been coming out the past year. My favourite one is "aicommits" - AI powered Git commits, writing commit messages really used to give me headaches back in the day 🤣. I'd really recommend you to check this on out.
Definitely and by far, gpt. Whether ChatGPT or other integrations, it works wonders in most tasks
Launching soon!
Im a tech minimalist. VSCode, Xcode, text-expander, iPad notes app for ideation. I find that keeping it simple helps when solving complex problems. Also dark mode everything. Even my apartment 😂
My workflow as a developer is significantly influenced by a suite of essential developer tools that enable me to streamline the development process and enhance my productivity. These tools serve as the foundation of my work, allowing me to efficiently write, test, and deploy code. First and foremost, my integrated development environment (IDE) of choice, such as Visual Studio Code or IntelliJ IDEA, provides a rich set of features, from code highlighting and auto-completion to version control integration. It's in this digital space that I spend the majority of my time, writing and organizing code. In addition to the IDE, version control systems like Git, and platforms like GitHub or GitLab, are indispensable for collaboration and code management. They allow me to work seamlessly with other developers and track changes throughout a project's lifecycle. Continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) tools like Jenkins or Travis CI automate the build and deployment processes, ensuring code quality and making deployments hassle-free. Finally, a variety of debugging and profiling tools, as well as package managers like npm or pip, play vital roles in enhancing my code quality and performance. These developer tools collectively shape and optimize my workflow, allowing me to focus on what matters most: writing clean, efficient code and delivering robust software solutions.
