As for me, I Love dbeaver, I work constantly with several DBMSs and it works great

Stez1673yIn the last months I switched from Postman and Sourcetree to Insomnia and Fork and I'm really enjoying them!
-
sariel85873y@Stez fuck yeah.
I fucking hate postman.
Those assholes are two days away from a data-breach that'll make my life miserable. -
Funnily enough, GNU Nano.
GDB and r2 are wonderful.
Qemu is complex but has such a wide array of settings to customize the virtual system. -
bahua129153yInsomnia is great, paw is the best I've ever used, and I don't know fork. I'll look it up.
EDIT:
Ah, a graphical git client. No thanks. -
VS Code (and its rule 34 extensions),
Intellij IDEA (obvious choice for Java),
DBeaver (database swiss knife),
Git (formal changes),
Thunder Client (formal API testing),
jebbs.plantuml (formal charts) -
i'm probably going to be the odd one out, but i actually like Visual Studio. especially with how 2022 seems to have gotten noticeably faster than previous versions.
and Blender is amazing, in the same way as Dwarf Fortress. once you break through the initial concrete wall that's learning its basic controls, you're in the garden of eden of awesomeness. -
@Ranchonyx dunno if you got it from get-go, but what I mean is extensions themselves are a rule 34: if there is software, there should be a VS Code extension for it.

My Windows favourite trick: I create 1 to 4 letters shortcuts in a folder which I add to PATH. Then I call them with [Win+R].
"c" for Chrome
"f" for Firefox
"n" for Notepad
"cal" for calling chrome with --app=calendar.google.com
"sp" for Spotify
"down" for Downloads folder
"img" for Pictures folder
The first one is always "cmds", as a shortcut to the shortcuts folder itself. The rest comes with use.
I have been doing that and using daily, for the past 15 years, and can't let go. -

Find and run Robot, launchy, or several others, can make this much easier, and far more flexible and extendible. -
@bahua tks for the suggestion, I'll have a look but a bit too much for what I need I guess.

I was on location for a consulting gig about ten years ago, and another engineer showed me launchy. Since then, I have become hopelessly dependent on the alt-space keystroke for launching, whether I'm on windows(f&rr), Linux(rofi), or Mac(Alfred). -
@Midnight-shcode I’m really liking Visual studio 2022 as well. Not even touched Jetbrains Rider since I installed it.
