    For the Android Devs, there was a tip to remove tabs in Android Studio and just use the recents/open file command. It honestly feels so much better to me. I already hoard Chrome tabs, I don't need to do the same in AS. https://t.co/mN3nlAkwNV #DevDiscuss

    But lately I’ve been giving VS Code a chance (with Vim keybindings because I can’t give these up). Having a nice time! #DevDiscuss

    Shiftit for Mac window management. VScode, rubymine, and postman are my main tools. #DevDiscuss

    #DevDiscuss I don't see https://t.co/Beq6H6O66o on the list yet, but it's relatively new to me and now such a time saver.

    Antigen-hs has eliminated zsh rage for me. People on oh-my-zsh or something similar should really give it a go. https://t.co/sbVyasmD41 #DevDiscuss

    Of course, in the workflow, make quick notes of topics/issues (including references) to dig deeper and blog about later. Don't forget to share issues and fixes :) #devdiscuss

    #DevDiscuss If you use screen regularly, consider checking out https://t.co/zFcum8AIj3 . Having a couple of dozen panes in one window and having your keystrokes go to each pane at the same time is awesome!

    I see the primary players for writing code sticking around with maybe a couple others popping in there with more intuitive (or gimmicky, who knows) features on the way. Which will likely just feed into the "my editor is better than yours" war. #devdiscuss

    bash, vim, tmux. my main laptop is Gentoo and servers are FreeBSD, so ZFS Jails and Dtrace. Firefox is amazing! Elixir and Erlang. OpenSSH is a must. what makes me work really fast is WindowMaker and it's flexibility. also make and sh for automation. #DevDiscuss

    My editor jam is NeoVim with vim-plug over Tmux executed via Fish run via iTerm2 with vim-airline to make it pretty. I can’t live without Dash (especially with TLDR pages) and Alfred workflows. Also use Text Expander, Trello, and Chrome with Toby to manage tabs. #DevDiscuss
  • gatlingxyz Jan 9 @ 9:51 PM EST
    Toby! That's my new way of managing tabs. Otherwise, I'd still have 60 up from the past two months. #DevDiscuss

    Was looking at an application recently where the team used jira so I started to look at it. Any #gamedev use this in your toolset? It looks awesome but what's your experiences? #DevDiscuss

    Package managers are πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ» Save a lot of headaches. Tools are there to make our lives easier. The future will be devs actually utilizing the tools in their tool belt instead of reinventing the wheel. πŸ˜‚πŸ™„ #devdiscuss

    live pair programming, greater iterations of language features e.g, C# 7.1,7.2, etc, more unit testing made easier. #DevDiscuss

    I don't know much about Web Assembly (WASM) except for some high-level stuff, but it will be a game changer for applications on the web. Being able to write more performant code for parts of your app with different languages. πŸ”₯ https://t.co/l9o6EJfQAk #devdiscuss
