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

Wow.. I hate it... the quality of IntelliJ has really fallen. I've been using it for like 5 years now and I'm constantly fighting it There are literally 20-40 serious bugs that impact me daily.

Do you have some examples? I've used IntelliJ or variants of it (Clion primarily in more recent years) since ~2004 and rarely had any issues, but it's possible I'm missing some obvious things here.

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?

For an on-prem general purpose logging server, it's fast and easy to maintain. The query engine supports fairly complex queries. Did I mention it's fast? Plus it's an industry standard so it's an easier sell in the enterprise. It's also actually not that expensive at low data volumes -- prices are comparable to Sumologic.

Cheaper alternatives? You can roll your own logging server with fluentd and a database. Some folks will recommend elasticsearch, but we tried it and it was challenging to set up just right.

Two: - UltraEdit. What Photoshop is to images, UltraEdit is to text. The weird thing is, it’s not a super flashy or even immediately intuitive tool. But once you get the hang of it, it never fails to deliver. - Excel. It’s insane the breadth of stuff you can do with it. And as a tool, it’s equally handy and “oh my God this will save me so much work” for a school teacher as it is for a data analyst and stock broker. I…

Can you give an example of why UltraEdit is better than emacs? Thanks!

I assume Emacs can be made to do anything under the sun, but UltraEdit comes out of the box with a friendly GUI that exposes some fairly complicated text manipulation tools. On some level it's just personal preference and familiarity.

Not Jira. Hahahahaha.

Is anyone just using Git{Hub,Lab,Tea} issues and being fine with it? Is the absence of a Kanban board a deal breaker? Perhaps for management.

We were fine with just using Github Issues... until we weren't. At a certain scale, it's too hard to sort and filter issues and since you can't add fields it was hard to capture all the issue metadata we wanted.

1) nimbletext. when clients send me excel sheets with tons of data to import i would generate insert statements in the sheets themselves. this is a painful experience. Then i found out about nimbletext. its pure joy to use. 2) jailer. I'm a visual kind of guy. so this makes database analysis very easy. 3) onenote. if only it had Linux app i would use it for personal use. 4) visual studio 2019. customized to the bone…

What kind of customization do you do to VS 2019 to make it more productive?
