Ok, ok, ok. Everybody makes these lists. They are everywhere. I get it. If you don’t want to read another one of these “Tools I use” posts, you’re welcome to click away now. I promise I won’t hold it against you.

Thank you for reading!

I find these lists valuable. It’s interesting to me to see the tools that other people use to do things. I’ve stumbled on awesome tools more than once by reading posts like this, someone might find value here.

What follows are lists of apps and tools I consider to be essential. One list for work, and another list for play.

Work Tools

I spend my day working as a Software Development Lead for a startup. Sometimes I write code, other times I spend times in meetings. I’m an engineer, and the tools below reflect that.

I won’t waste time covering the common tools, know that I use them and they are essential too: Slack, Dropbox, Postman.
