Keyboard. (Even virtual is ok) It's really hard to write code without it.

    Pen and paper.

    Most dev I know underestimate the power of scribling what pass through their head when thinking about a problem.

    Also I don't know if it count but learn regex, it's the best way to parse text ever made.

    What's a shell script that you're particularly chuffed with in terms of how much time/effort it saved you?

    A shell script to create shell scripts.

    Basically, it takes a file name, then creates a .sh file, and puts the shebang #!/use/bin/env bash into it.

    Very simple, yet it saves me from having to manually do it every time.

    Gotta give a shoutout to SourceGit

    Its the first git GUI that is actually clear and comfortable to use for me and makes relatively complicated git actions like interactive rebase easy.

    I'm slowly growing support for it at work and trying to get it in the pool of projects we donate to at work. (Have not checked if they allow donations, I probably should)

    For a quick glance at the code on mobile, you can put view-source: in front of the URL in IronFox.

    Adding source ~/.alias to .zshrc. Is great going gc "WIP" 😁

    Also, kanban-lite, and iTerm on OSX / Guake (or its alternative) on Linux. After Sublime and Atom, now have had to settle for VSCode. Recently been trialling micro-editor. Oh, and Firefox Developer + ungoogled-chromium + occasionally servo / links2.

    And of course, the most important thing - thermal cup looking like a viking horn for that sweet sweet bean juice.
