Hey guys! I want to boost my productivity and I'd love to know what do you usually use as a developer. This is my list of tools and tricks:
- Oh My Zsh with autosuggestion and git plugin
- GitHub CLI. Usually I use
gh branchto switch between branches as you can use Fuzzy Finder here - Aliases, like
workto open work project,opensourceto open my opensource projects folder

One tab chrome extension
Few Tools I just love:
I use almost nothing, for me it feels like I get less productive the more tools and software I use. So I try to keep my environment quite clean and only use the essentials. Easier to set up and start working on new machines too.
More tools not better, I totally agree, but let's say upgrade Zsh with Oh My Zsh is definitely worth it
Ohh yea, definitely. Zsh is one of my essentials, next to vscode and git
You can use the chrome extension Blackbox to copy text from videos, images, PDFs, etc
Come very handy while watching coding tutorials on YouTube 🤗

Was searching for this comment as I also use tabnine but people have been mentioning copilot. I wonder wish one is better?
This is a little more specific, but I authored and use Agrippa quite a bit, to auto-generate React components without the boilerplate. It saves a lot of time, definitely compared to creating components by hand (but also compared to snippets).
Sorry for the self-promotion, but I sincerely believe it's great 😄 and it's saved me a lot of time and repetitive effort.
Wow! I didn't expect to see anyone who wrote something on their own and share this tool. Have you thinking about making a website with documentation? I see README and Wiki page, but maybe you have some plans around it 🤔
Thanks for checking it out!
I actually do have some plans for a proper website for it, but it's a lot of work and progress is quite slow.
Currently working on more features for the tool (more frameworks other than plain React, test file support, etc.) which I'm rather excited about 🚀
No worries! At least you have some information in README 👍 Good luck with project development and be strong 💪
I use dozens of tools that make me more productive. Some worthwhile mentions:
Obsidian looks like something interesting! I'm going to try this one, thank you for sharing something new 😍
Vim extension for VSCode.
Bunch of VS Code and browser extensions, will make a list if you are interested.
Other than that, I use Notion, Obsidian(rarely), G-Calender, thiscodeworks, cold turkey
Sure! I'd love to see. I think there is always something useful that people are using, but you don't even know about it 😆
VS Code Extensions:
Thank you for sharing ❤️
Browser extensions:
Never heard about Yadr. New thing to learn again 👍
When I tried Copilot, it was a very different working experience: mostly because I was constantly evaluating if Copilots code suggestion was suitable or not. So I removed the extension
Yeah. To me it felt like having to coach a Junior dev all the time.
I have a bunch if you want to check out iamdeveloper.com/uses for my whole setup, but here’s some I wrote about recently.
Productivity Tools I Use

Wow... It's a really huge list and so many things to explore. Thank you 😍
None so I don't get distracted 👌😅
😂 I've never even thought about this approach
I use the same tools plus my ~/bin is full of scripts and I cannot live without todoist
Awesome 😍 As I see from the comments, scripts are really helpful 👍
For me it's mainly my code editor which is vscode, i installed a bunch of extensions to help with that and i have access to github copilot so it's more productive than before
I use vscode too, but I realized I don't have any extensions to boost productivity 🤔 Maybe you can suggest something? The only thing I have is
copy-json-pathto easily copy path to the value, it really helps me while I'm working with large JSON files 😅Live server, better comments, prettier, auto import for javascript, html tag auto completion, quokka i will make a list for good extensions i use soon so make sure you check it out
Awesome! Thank you 😍
