I spend a lot of time around code, but writing code is only one part of my workflow. Over time, I've noticed that some of the tools I rely on most have nothing to do with generating code. They help me work through ideas, solve small problems, manage my setup, and make projects easier to handle. That's why I wanted to highlight the tools that have earned a permanent spot in my workflow. They aren't flashy AI coding assistants, and they won't build an app for me. But they make my day-to-day work easier in ways I don't always notice until they're gone.
