What 5 software tools do you use most for work and what is your job? Another way of asking this: What software tools would someone need to learn if they had your job?
Terminal (this is a requirement if you want to do any software related job other than .NET I guess), some sort of a text editor with code code highlighting (Sublime), internet browser (reading documentation is a big part of my job), email client (reading & replying to work emails), version control (git).<p>Those are basics but there are additional tools which you'll probably need to use daily as well (JIRA, Slack or their equivalents, for example).
As developper:<p>1. a GNU/Linux (Ubuntu or Debian)<p>2. urxvt or terminology, I use always the same commnands (cd, ls, git, emacs, find, ag)<p>3. emacs with elpy, rainbow-delimiters and web-mode using monokai theme<p>4. i3 window manager<p>5. weechat<p>And I am looking for a proper email client (webmail or whatever).
Software team lead / manager. Aside from the self-evident non-role-specific stuff (browser, email, slack):<p>1) Jira
2) [Text editor of choice]
3) Mac/Unix command line
4) Git
5) [To-do manager of choice]
Firefox, M$ Office (:/), XenCenter, RoyalTS (all on Windows), and misc. Linuxy stuff..<p>I'm the IT Guy for a small non-profit research and development company in the higher education sector.<p>Firefox is used for Spiceworks, various web-based management consoles for our storage devices (and webmin on Linux VMs), and general web stuff. M$ Office is mostly just Outlook and Excel. XenCenter to manage our XenServer infrastructure, and RoyalTS is for RDC-ing to various servers and workstations. Most Linux admin is done via webmin, or shell.
Emacs, Eclipse, Lein, Maven, Node. Two additional ones are in my kit box by default, for different reasons, Java and MS Office. Java is required for Lein, Eclipse, and Maven, and occasional Java components. Node is needed for tool automation, in my case. Emacs is used for general editing needs, and Clojure coding. MS Office is needed because any delivery which does not include documentation doesn't count, and many I work with require documentation in MS Office form.
Data Scientist:<p>SQL Developer, SAS Enterprise Guide, SAS Enterprise Miner, Excel, Jira<p>We are a "SAS shop", therefore SAS is a must. Knowing other SAS products helps to recognize when a statement like "it is not possible" in reality means "I am not in the mood for working".
Doing Go web application dev:<p>• Linux (Fedora 25 atm), as debugging in Go only works well on Linux. Would use OSX if Go debugging actually worked properly there. ;)<p>• Gogland (JetBrains Go IDE)<p>• Terminal<p>• pgAdmin (PostgreSQL GUI)<p>• Git<p>• and various web browsers
