Developers who keep up with tech might know most of these, but I'm confident everyone will find at least a couple of new ones.

For example, seed and copycat are not very popular but are super useful when working on the backend.

Thanks for reading Rohan :)

Will read the full story about Fakerjs...

Yes, I know about PearAI and it's not something new.

Thanks for reading Akshay. I also switched from VSCode to Cursor a couple of months ago. It's very useful :)
