i cannot stress enough the importance of 6th point - personalizing your tools. some stuff i have setup-
created a folder commandline_shortcuts, put it into PATH env variable... all the batch files I put in that folder can be run from any directory. one such script i have made: mdcd.bat inside which i have written
md %1
cd %1
so instead of typing cd test, and md test, i can just type mdcd test and this will create a folder named test and change into it.
there are other such batch files inside.
-autohotkey
it lets you automate keystrokes. (its capable of doing so more too, like running processes and stuff) it doesnt matter who you are and what your job is... autohotkey will be a very valuable skill if you practice.. my project has like 5 testing environments and its hard to switch domains. i have setup autohotkey script to spit out urls that saves me a ton of mental frustration if i were to find it from browser history
-rest client (vs code extension)
this is just awesome.. i recently found out that latest version of postman supports almost all features if not all like setting variables etc.
-a programmable keyboard and an ultrawide monitor
best purchase i have made in 10 years! i bought a 34" ultra wide and k55 keyboard. corsair's software is so powerful i feel like my mind is the thing that is limiting how i use this keyboard for better productivity..
