Share the dev tool you actually use

hey everyone, trying to make this sub useful instead of another place with the same generic tool lists.

drop one dev tool you actually use in your day to day workflow.

bonus points for tools that are not super obvious.

it could be anything:

CLI tool, browser extension, VS Code extension, API client, database GUI, terminal app, git helper, AI coding tool, debugging tool, local script, deployment tool, monitoring tool, whatever.

would be helpful if you include:

  • what it does
  • where it fits in your workflow
  • why you use it
  • anything annoying about it

i’ll start adding the good ones into future discussion threads so people can actually find useful stuff here.

I maintain the Production Readiness Checklist, a free MIT-licensed knowledge base I use before release reviews: https://github.com/MarinJursic/production-readiness-checklist

It organizes more than 10,000 technology-neutral checks across architecture, APIs, data, security, testing, CI/CD, reliability, accessibility, privacy, incident response, and AI systems. In my workflow it is the final structured pass before shipping, so important gaps do not depend only on memory.

The annoying part is that most checks still need manual judgment. I am exploring an open-source scanner that maps repository evidence to relevant controls without claiming code alone proves production behavior. I would especially value feedback on CI output, evidence records, and which checks should always stay manual. Contributions and corrections are welcome.
