#92Kagi Search search engine. Unless I’m doing “food near me” type searches, Kagi is 100x better than the garbage heap Google is now. Then Jetbrains. Then one of the ProtonMail subscriptions although I only use the mail and sometimes the VPN for streaming. I still use gmail too mostly for junk mail/signups/loyalty programs but I wanted to support an email service that’s not Google and Fastmail wasn’t doing it for me. Be…
I thought Kagi was a payment processor. Did they pivot?

First time I'm hearing about Kagi. I'm curious because google has been so bad latetly. This feature piqued my interest: Ability to block/boost domains. I always wanted to boost MDN over w3schools, for example. Will try it!

#94Git fork: https://git-fork.com/ Best git client i’ve tried, even though i hate it’s tabbing system. RemedyBG: https://remedybg.itch.io/remedybg Excellent debugger for Windows. Sublime Text: To this day I have not found any text editor that works better than this. 100% worth the money

#95Earlier quoted context omitted.
I used to do this, but more recently have found that VS includes most of the same functionality and ReSharper and VS end up fighting with each other to do the same thing for you, which gets annoying. Rider is great though!
I never tried Rider. Would you recommend it over VS + Resharper? Or do you then need both Rider and VS, to still have access to VS design mode or other visual studio features?

The best part is how fast Sublime feels on a 12" Macbook from 2017. This thing just flies.

#99I bought Sublime Text + Merge. They're the backbone of my computer work.
I pay 10€ per month for Wachete. I get notified when German laws and policies change, so that I can keep my own website up to date. It's a great time saver.
I pay for Spotify, to make work a little more pleasant. YouTube Music gets me better though.
That's it!

MidJorney, Figma & acreom for notes.
Also dropbox is a magic-must when having 2 workstations.
Every year or so I try to go through and evaluate value.
