Picking the right tool for the right job is probably the most crucial skill I learned when it comes to programming. If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail. That’s why it’s crucial to constantly be on the lookout for new tools that increase developer productivity and happiness.

Full disclosure: I’m not affiliated with any of these companies or tools. I only pick them because I find them beyond useful.
