Ask HN: What's a new developer tool you recently started using?

8 pointsby chandler767over 1 year ago
I always like learning about new tools and never know what I'm missing out on. Share some tools you've recently started using.

Some new diff tool <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dandavison&#x2F;delta">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;dandavison&#x2F;delta</a> I just wanted to do a diff inside a bash script and ask the user if it looked ok, found this one.

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.<p>VMs - Specifically with Parallels Desktop. I&#x27;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.

I just started using chezmoi, a cross-platform dotfiles manager. Would highly reccommend chezmoi if you&#x27;re looking for a reliable dotfile manager.

Lima - pretty smooth way to develop on a linux vm on macOS. I connect it via SSH to VS code, and performs quite well on M1&#x2F;M2 MacBooks.

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.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pair-code.github.io&#x2F;facets&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pair-code.github.io&#x2F;facets&#x2F;</a>

It&#x27;s kinda silly, but I like &quot;frhed&quot; for Windows. It&#x27;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.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sourceforge.net&#x2F;projects&#x2F;frhed&#x2F;" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;sourceforge.net&#x2F;projects&#x2F;frhed&#x2F;</a><p>On a similar note I also use Notepad2 which hasn&#x27;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.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flos-freeware.ch&#x2F;notepad2.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.flos-freeware.ch&#x2F;notepad2.html</a>

I tried DBeaver recently and thought it was pretty nice. I tried it as an alternative to Beekeeper.
