Ask HN: Which developer tools do you use and need?

Hi HN,

Everyone uses different dev tools (programming languages, IDEs, workflows, etc). Which ones do you use on a daily basis and which ones you need to boost your productivity?



I use QtCreator, vscode.

What I need is a better way to develop linux server app on my mac.

I'm using either ssh or docker on mac to have a linux environment.

On mac, the docker container is extremely slow and it keeps my cpu busy all the time, the laptop gets very hot.

vscode/ssh remote is a better solution, but requires reliable network, (hard to use in a coffee shop)

I still prefer a local setup.


I found this https://github.com/linux-noah/noah !

looks promising


I use https://wakatime.com to boost my productivity with project goals.
