What tools in your day to day give the largest productivity boost?
For me they would be git, linux, python/ pandas, upwork (met some great offshore devs but it took time), password management (bitwarden,keepass), daily exercise, daily meditation, firefox(google), and cellphone all in no particular order.
- pumpkinhead 6y agoWindows Terminal with PowerShell. With Terminal I run git, psql, hg, vim, sqlite. With PS I slice and dice text, csv, xml, mock up web services and clients, curl, ssh, write helper scripts, etc. Better than any unix shell I have ever used.

- leonim 6y agoFor interactive slicing and dicing of csv, xml, json, etc. I like VisiData. For scripting I like miller and jq. Not sure how that compares to your PS setup. There are some recent Unix shells, like nushell for working with structured data, but I haven't used them. - https://github.com/saulpw/visidata - https://github.com/johnkerl/miller - https://github.com/nushell/nushell
