Ask HN: What non-LLM tools have meaningfully improved your dev productivity?

4•primaprashant•23h ago
Curious what tools people are using that aren't GenAI/LLM-based. Things that have actually changed how you work, not just minor conveniences.

Docker starting test DBS, getting apps quickly to run without setting up all deps on my system.

Vscode.

Ruff solved python formatting and linting.

uv solved packaging.

Both were better in terms of user ergonomics and also much faster that what we used before, black, mypy, pylint etc.

IDK it Typescript is too generic but TS made me think of javascript as a proper language and not something just to do silly little animations on websites for. Types unlock proper data modeling and application code to me.

Figma and Figjam are really great tools for design and planning. I didn't like Miro's pricing model, and stuff we used before like Sketch wasn't as good.
