Ask HN: What 5 software tools do you use most for work?

Visual Studio Code, iTerm, Trello, Google Chrome, and Skype :(

Every single working day for the past 3 or 4 years vim, terminal, C++, Chrome, and just recently CUDA.

Those are basics but there are additional tools which you'll probably need to use daily as well (JIRA, Slack or their equivalents, for example).

1. a GNU/Linux (Ubuntu or Debian)

2. urxvt or terminology, I use always the same commnands (cd, ls, git, emacs, find, ag)

3. emacs with elpy, rainbow-delimiters and web-mode using monokai theme

4. i3 window manager

5. weechat

And I am looking for a proper email client (webmail or whatever).

1) Jira 2) [Text editor of choice] 3) Mac/Unix command line 4) Git 5) [To-do manager of choice]

I'm the IT Guy for a small non-profit research and development company in the higher education sector.

Firefox is used for Spiceworks, various web-based management consoles for our storage devices (and webmin on Linux VMs), and general web stuff. M$ Office is mostly just Outlook and Excel. XenCenter to manage our XenServer infrastructure, and RoyalTS is for RDC-ing to various servers and workstations. Most Linux admin is done via webmin, or shell.

SQL Developer, SAS Enterprise Guide, SAS Enterprise Miner, Excel, Jira

We are a "SAS shop", therefore SAS is a must. Knowing other SAS products helps to recognize when a statement like "it is not possible" in reality means "I am not in the mood for working".

Heres the list:-

1. Operating system ( mostly Linux )

2. Desktop ( mostly gnome )

3. Keyboard/mouse/LCD .... drivers .. ( can't work without them, eh! )

4. Browser ( mostly firefox )

5. Google ( its a SW tool alright! )

• Linux (Fedora 25 atm), as debugging in Go only works well on Linux. Would use OSX if Go debugging actually worked properly there. ;)

• Terminal

• pgAdmin (PostgreSQL GUI)

• Git

• and various web browsers

  1. Gnome Terminal
  2. Neovim
  3. Google Chrome
  4. Pymodoro (https://github.com/dattanchu/pymodoro)
