Things that we pay for. SQL Server : it's not cheap, but it's genuinely good. Live query plans, clustered columnstore indices, linked servers, rich SQL features. Tableau : more than a dashboarding tool, it's actually a really good multivariate exploratory data analysis (EDA) tool. You can use it to visualize multidimensional data easily. I do use Jupyter (seaborn, plotly) and R (ggplot2) which are good, but Tableau l…

Why is Splunk among the bests for you? What is the cheaper alternative?

There's www.humio.com

I've tried not to be impressed by airtable, but their on the fly API documentation generators for how you configure things still feels like black magic. Every time I want to be dismissive of the product, it's exceeded what I believed to be an extremely unlikely to meet set of expectations. They've clearly got some pretty competent people. I'd love to draft them somehow Beyond that, the services of namecheap Ava digit…

what is an on the fly API documentation generator? Is it that you say what your lang and stack is and they tailor the documentation to just the lang and stack you're using?

No. The English text contains paragraphs of text that describe the relationships and interactions of the user configured data model. It's all machine driven. The examples pull from your actual data. It's not just dumb basic stuff I'm referring to.

I'll see if I can get a screenshot later

I've been enamored by Pipedream ( https://pipedream.com ) because as a Product Manager with engineering background, I can quickly hack together prototypes and get good feedback from customers :) . Pretty sure there are other nocode software but this is great for me.

Hi, I can't find the pricing. Is it completely free?

Jetbrains IntelliJ. I use it for html, JS, CSS, Vue, node.js, Python, Java, SQL, etc. I’ve tried visual studio and some other IDEs, but find intellij to be superior in every way.

On the flipside, I find IntelliJ causes my computer to go into overdrive while VSC is pretty snappy. A shame because I love using their software. I guess I just need to get a new computer lol

VSC != VS

I'm sure VS chugs power like IntelliJ too

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'll pick a nit: Visual Studio is not unparalleled; in fact I think Rider is better. (Rider doesn't choke on large solutions to anywhere near the same extent, in my experience.)

I haven't used rider but this seems so strange to me because resharper(made by the same people as rider) will cause my $2600 2019 desktop to grind to a screaming hault on small solutions. And as long as I don't install resharper I've found visual studio to be pretty snappier even up to a million loc solutions.

Oh, I'm pretty sure we all uninstall Resharper as the first thing we do on a new machine at $WORK :P but VS really does grind to a halt even with ~120 projects in a solution, let alone ~400, whereas the latest EAP Rider is good to go in within minutes. Maybe we have an unusually dense dependency graph or something.

Except being a bit too strict about style. I've started using Rider midway in a project, its formatting didn't really follow a style. Now every time I paste stuff or do anything really the whole file gets reformatted. You can find lots of people complaining about that. And it's not a new problem either:

Datadog - the amount of observability we have in our infrastructure is insane. I can find out what’s wrong within a few seconds.

Datadog is nice as a user. It's pretty terrible as a person who cares about the budget. Their pricing is pretty ridiculous at times and their sales people are often way over aggressive. You have to pay extra for containers on a host. They also make it impossible to keep users from consuming additional paid features. I like having Datadog when I need to debug, but I'm pretty sick of the dark patterns and surprise bill…

Try Instana, doesn’t have that insane pricing model. It is also more useful, in that it doesn’t focus on „graph porn“ but instead genuinely useful insights like automated alerts and root cause analysis.

Disclaimer: I used to work there.

Yeah JetBrains IDEs are nice. I use their CLion IDE for Rust and also for web stuff.
