Assuming we are speaking about software tools;

Work:

• Azure DevOps
• Windows Terminal (and therein, PowerShell)
• Whatever video conferencing solution is du jour
• Microsoft Office (mainly Word, sometime Excel, Powerpoint under duress)

Not software, but essential for my sanity:

• Noise Cancelling Headphones (Sony WH-1000XM3).

Pleasure:

• Ableton Live
• VCV Rack
• Arturia V Collection (tied with NI Komplete, I guess).
• Max for Live
• Visual Studio Code

Not software, but essential for for everyone else's sanity:

• Noise Cancelling Headphones.
