It's kinda silly, but I like "frhed" for Windows. It's a small fast hex editor. I tried more advanced editors but found myself going back to frhed because it opens instantly and never complains, it just opens any file and lets me get to work.
On a similar note I also use Notepad2 which hasn't been updated in years, but is a no-BS upgrade from Notepad that also will open just about anything very quickly. I use it more than Notepad++ because of the balance between simplicity and function, and it never gives me popups to update.
I have been poring over a large amount of data for debugging purposes recently and discovered “facets” which provides a quick and easy way to compare and explore datasets.
Dash - An offline documentation browser for MacOS. These days, I found that online searches is a bit wasteful–I never have time to configure specific site- search in Alfred. Kinda useful for languages like Go, Common Lisp and Clojure.
VMs - Specifically with Parallels Desktop. I'm a bit fed up with MacOS packagers. I prefer having a small VM, where things are at least consistent. And no risks of NPM contaminations.
Some new diff tool https://github.com/dandavison/delta
I just wanted to do a diff inside a bash script and ask the user if it looked ok, found this one.

Hm, it seems like most of what chezmoi does, I don't really need, compared to a private git repo.
