One my favorite tools is Visidata (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.visidata.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.visidata.org&#x2F;</a>). It is great for viewing and working with data in the terminal. It is useful if you need to quickly explore data and change some data.<p>VisiData makes it possible to view a lot of data such as CSV, JSON, databases, etc. All the supported formats are listed in <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.visidata.org&#x2F;docs&#x2F;formats&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.visidata.org&#x2F;docs&#x2F;formats&#x2F;</a><p>There is a wonderful tutorial in <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jsvine.github.io&#x2F;intro-to-visidata&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jsvine.github.io&#x2F;intro-to-visidata&#x2F;</a>

I&#x27;ve been using this obscure tool called &quot;documentation&quot; for years now. It&#x27;s this revolutionary concept where the people who created the software actually write down how it works!<p>Sometimes it even has examples showing how to use the software correctly.<p>I know it sounds too good to be true, but trust me once you discover documentation, you&#x27;ll wonder how you ever lived without it.

Hex -- voice to words: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kitlangton&#x2F;Hex">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;kitlangton&#x2F;Hex</a><p>In general, I think voice to text for productive work (e.g. prompting cursor) isn&#x27;t getting much attention. Hex is a great tool, that works locally on top of open models, and is quite reliably.

A pseudo terminal. It provides translation between a shell and a terminal interface for third party access. Third party access can include SSH, application streams, user sessions, web browsers, and more.

An IDE that doesn&#x27;t inject AI slop into my work constantly.
