#12Windows Terminal has completely changed how I view Windows. Open a console and ssh to anywhere. Open a WSL console and use Linux on the desktop. Hard to believe.

#14Raycast. Apart from being a great launcher, it has replaced the need for a dedicated window manager and clipboard app.

#17Also on Windows, mostly.
- Git, for being so versatile, after one learns its basic internal model.
- Tortoise Git, for making my day to day job of dealing with branches and merges easier.
- 7zip - my workhorse for compression for many years.
- Visual Studio 2022. Specifically: its debugger, the refactoring support, and its recent intellicode feature, which for me gives better suggestions than Github's Copilot. And its fast C# compiler
- The C# language, for constraining me just so while still allowing me to be expressive and productive. And for having a stable ABI, stellar backwards compatibility, and excellent documentation.
- The C++ language, for allowing me to be expressive as much as I want, while giving the tools to be correct (which do require some self discipline), and allowing me to write very performant code.
- Notepad++ for being simple and fast.
- Godbolt, aka Compiler Explorer. For allowing me to quickly evaluate stuff and see the actual asm.
Each of these also has its bad sides, but I won't go into that, keeping it positive just before the new year :)

#18I just discovered the amazing Ultorg (https://www.ultorg.com/), the commercial version of some serious research done at MIT.
It's easily the most powerful database explorer/reporting system ever built.
(No connection with the author except enthusiasm over what he's built.)
