Ask HN: What minimum tooling do you need in an application?

3 points by longcommonname 7y ago ↗ HN

I'm mostly a C developer and when I work on various projects there's specific tools I use or introduce into these applications. When I work on higher level languages the landscape for tooling is pretty fantastic.

What are things you cannot live without and what makes them useful?

When I code in Python, virtualenvs are pretty nice. I used Sentry.io for logging in a Django project and it was useful, for error logs storage and analytics. JupyterLab is awesome for doing deep learning tasks on remote servers (I'm doing the fast.ai course right now).

When I set up a new Ubuntu server that I will be using a lot I tend to put zsh, tmux, byobu and neovim on it.

Oh and coding React Native apps with the Expo framework has been freakin awesome so far, as well.
