Curious what tools you use that you absolutely adore. For me I sing the praises of slack, calendly, zoom, excel, and triplebyte to anyone who will listen.
Outlook (the desktop native app). Evolution comes vaguely close, but other than that? Every single client, desktop or native, just seemed insufficient. Especially if you need your calendar to be integrated into the email client.
I feel like they fill separate niches. I really enjoy Obsidian for notetaking, but the Zotero collector for web browsers that saves and organizes all your references is a godsend. Granted, this feature might be in Obsidian but I'm not too familiar with the plugin landscape for it.
I used to only use a drill, under the theory that I merely had to select an appropriate torque level to avoid stripping the screw, so why use two tools? And yet, even with an appropriately sized pilot hole, I would have to put a suspicious amount of force into it to keep the bit from jumping. One day I realized: Sure, you can't lower the torque on an impact driver, but the impact action means it doesn't need to apply as much torque as a drill does to do the same job. It is seemingly calibrated to the perfect amount of torque to keep the bit from jumping, and the impact action does the rest without you having to apply undue force - it can just take a couple seconds longer is all. I was dismissing the right tool for the job due to an unwarranted confidence in my own understanding of the tradeoffs involved in the physics.
Superhuman. Livegrep. Basically nothing else? Almost all other software is so slow as to be unusable or made for such narrow usecases that I cannot use it.
I love Zig but this post isn't about programming languages and even if it's super great it's clearly beta software and you hit problems related to that regularly.
Typora for oncall notes - it seems to be the one markdown writing app that lets me paste screenshots in so they will save to disk and render inline with the notes I'm typing.

Also Supabase, especially due to being open-source (but im still waiting for their dashboard to be on GitHub so I can fix a few pet peeves…)
It's on! https://github.com/supabase/supabase/tree/master/studio

Thanks for the shoutout, and I agree that Raycast is amazing
- saleae log analyzer with logic2: protocol analysis, message decoding, etc
Then again, I sometimes use a drill hammer to hang up pictures, just because it’s easier to extract from the cupboard.

I use it all the time to connect to my home server, works like a charm !
Like a swiss army knife.
