+1 for ConEmu. It's a life saver on Windows. I know it's a religious issue, M$ vs <whatever> but it is still kinda valid. I work with some talented C# developers but I'm always thinking in the back of my mind : "wh

I've just spent the last couple of years investing my time in Gradle. I'm in a position where I've become productive with the tool. But as is the way of the freelance software guy (or gal) the decisions that influence the tec
