Inspired by tools like Grafana that I just discovered, what other cool open source tooling do you use?
Primary code editor: helix
Graphical debugger and certain IDE features: vscodium
Lots of open source language servers: clangd, rust-analyzer, perl-navigator, …
Makefile to compile-comands.json: bear
TUI file manager: yazi
Better Grep:ripgrep
Debugger: gdb(gnu debugger)
GNU Emacs!
Not exactly programming but recently discovered Logseq and I’m absolutely loving it. Been using it for work but I kinda want to start using it for personal stuff too.
I use Logseq for everything. I’ve found the more you throw into it the more useful it becomes since your touch points are so frequent and that gets you thinking through and exploring your graph more. I’ve yet to use any of the data query features but I’ve heard they’re incredibly powerful.
Whiteboards are just a fantastic way for modeling a topic or themes you know you want to turn into a deliverable when the how is uncertain.
I think org-roam in emacs is the same? I now never work on something without copying everything into an org-file and commenting it. And I am so happy when I want to do something I have done before and just be able to follow along my own notes.
Now that I’ve finished the first draft of an article on setting up rootless Podman on Guix System, I’m using and building out a set of tools to support a new article covering an all Red Hat stack from inner loop to CI.
So far, it’s
- OpenShift for the platform services run on
- Podman for my local container engine
- Podman Compose for inner loop development
- Tekton Pipelines for CI
- Shipwright for building container images with Buildah in CI
I really want to like Podman Compose but since the very beginning it’s been noticeably tougher to work with than Docker Compose. I get that it’s because it’s just an extra script rather than a first party tool, but still.
For something simple that just needs a bind mount like
services: app: build: context: . target: base volumes: - ./debaser_studio:/opt/app-root/src/debaser_studio/debaser_studio ports: - "3000:3000" - "8000:8000" user: default
I haven’t found any issues. Do you have more complex needs?
