Another cool one that I've made: In dotnet there is a package called ssh dot net (spelt out). With this package you can programmatically ssh into your vm's (basically open a normal ssh tunnel from c#). Its great. I use this in conjunction with the postgres dotnet driver to connect to our production databases. I use this when I don't feel good about doing data maintenance directly in sql and need more type safety. So I use my little C# tunneler quite a lot to get my work done quickly and safely, all while the other devs are fighting over vim/emacs vs using postgres in the terminal. So me using my own little tool for all of the risky stuff has been a godsend. That and Datagrip (I have a paid version of this, worth every single penny). The little tunneler reads the database schema when it starts up then generates a class/model for each table so it closely matches with it, that way I can fiddle away and write some clean sql against the db without stress. I know it sound silly but it works great! So yeah. The company I work for is a strictly-java shop with an apple fetish (so everyone has macbooks). Little do they know I haven't touch the macbook in almost two years. I use my desktop Ryzen pc with a bunch of C# tooling. Ha!
