I pay for JetBrains, Creative cloud, chatGpt, figma, and mid journey. I also pay for quick books. Are there any must have dev productivity tools you can recommend?

#2Github Copilot and, depending on the team, also Miro might be useful.

#3I received a Kinesis keyboard in the mail today - maybe not what OP had in mind but my hand issues were to the point of contemplating leaving computer work. Not sure how much it’ll change with the new keyboard - but my response is ergonomics.

Try reading Sarno. Sounds nuts but it works.

#7Many of productivity tools I use are free (and not always related to dev, but as a side effect, increase my development productivity as well):
* a big monitor (switching from 13" to 27" definitely had an impact)
* https://www.raycast.com/ has the biggest impact to my productivity. So much good stuff there! Just one example is resizing windows with keyboard. Good old https://www.alfredapp.com/ is another option;
* https://devdocs.io/ to look up docs;
* https://www.tldraw.com/ for temporary sketches, wireframes, etc.
* while I'm here: in my experience, one-time purchase from https://serif.com/ is a great alternative to Creative Cloud.

#9I payed for Typora (a Markdown editor). The price is very reasonable and fair and the product and support is very good. This is the only tool I ever payed for. I do support OSs initiatives through donations.
