Software I use, and other things I recommend.

I take a lot of time to evaluate the tools I use and this list is the culmination of the results of that.

Development tools

  • Zed

    The best balance of performance and features.

  • WezTerm

    WezTerm is a powerful cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer implemented in Rust.

  • Fish

    Fish is a smart and user-friendly command line shell for Linux, macOS, and the rest of the family.

  • Helix

    A post-modern text editor implemented in Rust.

Productivity

  • Reflect

    Using a daily notes system instead of trying to keep things organized by topics has been super powerful for me. And with Reflect, it’s still easy for me to keep all of that stuff discoverable by topic even though all of my writing happens in the daily note.
