slow? i use both pycharm and webstorm and their are definitely neither kludgy nor slow...
Curious, why not just used IntelliJ with the plugins for python? I’ve never used the standalone apps. Do they provide a better experience?
k9s makes me feel like (and look like to my coworkers) a k8s wizard, the parenthetical especially when I'm sharing my terminal and zipping around using keyboard shortcuts https://github.com/derailed/k9s
I love k9s, it's completely changed the game for me. I really wish the keyboard shortcuts and available commands were better documented, though. Figuring out that you have to be in the deployment view (and how to get there) to scale something took some doing.

RE: ChatGTP... How confident are you that it's giving you the correct answers to your queries? I've noticed that it often sounds right, but is sometimes completely wrong, in subtle ways. It always puts together words that are commonly near eachother, and it is always grammatically correct, but it is often absolutely wrong. I've observed that the more specific and technical a question I ask, the more likely it is to b…
You can actually ask ChatGPT to cite its sources. Anecdotally when I tried, it provided me with a valid url to a census.gov site that contained the answer to my question. That doesn't make it better than google, but it does mean that some verification is possible.
it is NOT a research tool. It is a creative text generation tool. It is not programmed to provide accurate data. It's programmed to provide accurate sounding text.

I've tried to migrate to something more lightweight like (neo)?vim, Helix, emacs; but regardless of how good their syntax awareness/LSP support is, it's always inferior to JetBrains IDEs. Simple example: (any language, e.g. Rust) rename a function across multiple files and undo it. Let me know how you'd do it in your editor of choice.
That's the go-to example whenever IDEs are discussed on HN but I...almost never do that? I don't think I can count on two hands the number of times I have to do that in a year. As for undoing it I don't think I've ever done it at all. Anyway it doesn't matter because vim + CoC can do it. And for undoing it I guess I simply rename it back to the original name. Actually I just tried and yeah, it works. One of these day…
Vim. I can never leave modal editing now. Been using it since 2010 and I think in vim when editing. It lets me enter a flow state so much easier. My brain maps into writing and editing.
I feel like I have a unique one here. The chrome extension: "Replace Youtube's Home with Subscriptions" It has easily saved me over 100 hours by preventing me from continuously scrolling through youtube recommendations. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/replace-youtubes-h...
can you not just click 'subscriptions' in the left sidebar on the homepage? Or direct?: https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions
The Mosh SSH client for intermittent connectivity ( https://mosh.org/ ) has definitely saved me at least 100 hours. Too bad that it's only available for Windows as a Chrome extension, and Chrome will discontinue support for it starting in the new year. Really not looking forward to having to search for an alternative...
Ultrafast, super lite file search on Windows, Voidtools "Everything": https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/ I haven't touched the Windows Search utility since I found it.
For me it’s github copilot. It produces bad code frequently and often code that looks good at a glance, but is bad. So I treat the output with extreme prejudice. However, I think it saves me a few hours a month on average. Maybe not 100 in a year, but in two or three years, certainly. It saves me much more time than my IDE does (JetBrains + vscode).
