Discussion on: What apps, software, or tools do you use and why?

Terminal:

• iTerm + oh my zsh + z
• screen (tough rarely locally, basically always on remote servers)
• jq to manipulate or display JSON in the console

Editor: Sublime Text 3 until super recently, though I'm loving Visual Studio Code more and more.

Chrome extensions:

• Lastpass for personal and work logins
• HTTPS Everywhere
• Full page screen capture, useful if you have to send screenshots of a scrolling page to someone

Various tools:

• Slack
• Tomighty desktop timer for the Pomodoro technique
• Postman for API

Not much else...
