Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.

Here’s a big list of all of my favorite stuff.

Workstation

  • Custom Built Desktop, i5-4440, 8GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB

    It is an old desktop system i got built in my college days. It is still fine for programming tasks.

  • 21” inch Dell monitor

    Monitor i have connected with desktop.

  • Logitech G 304 Mouse

    It wireless and it works.

Development tools

  • Intellij Idea

    No other editor is in close competition with this one. It works and its intellisense works perfectly for java development.

  • Datagrip

    Great software for working with databases. One of my favourite shortcut (ctrl + F12) is to view the desired column in select query, its very helpful when one have large no. of columns in table and i am interest in value of some particular column.

  • Webstorm

    I use is when i am working on front end. Intellij ultimate can handle front end projects, but i like to keep things separate. I have different theme (One dark vivid italic) in webstorm so that i can easily switch while working on both backend and front end.

  • VS Code

    I use to view snippets like json or format it. And as scratch pad.

Productivity

  • Anki

    It is a flashcard app with spaced repetition algorithm. In tech we have to learn a vast amount of knowledge. I have read many books, blogs and watch multiple tech based video tutorials, but if we are not revising or using the things at work, we forgot. So, to help remember the things we have studied i started using anki.
