AI-Powered Development
Cursor or VS Code with Copilot for AI-assisted coding. Use Claude for architecture decisions and code reviews. AI doesn't replace developers, it removes the tedious parts so you can focus on hard problems.
Terminal and CLI Tools
Warp or Kitty for your terminal. Install Starship for a fast prompt, zoxide for directory jumping, and ripgrep for searching. These small improvements compound into hours saved per week.
Project Management
Linear for issue tracking (if you're a team) or Todoist for personal tasks. Keep your backlog clean and your sprints focused. The best project management is the one you actually use consistently.
Deployment Pipeline
Vercel for frontend, Railway or Fly.io for backend, and GitHub Actions for CI/CD. Automate deployments so shipping is a one-click operation. Deploy small, deploy often.

No account needed. Share what worked, what did not, and what you would add.
Solid. Would add that the biggest productivity win is usually cutting tools, not adding them.
