My Favorite Tech Tools in 2025

As a developer, having the right tools can make a huge difference in productivity and enjoyment of coding.

Code Editors

VS Code remains my go-to editor. The extension ecosystem is incredible, and it just works well for everything from JavaScript to Markdown.

Extensions I can't live without:

• Prettier for code formatting
• GitLens for Git integration
• Thunder Client for API testing
• Auto Rename Tag for HTML/JSX

Terminal Tools

I've recently switched to using Oh My Zsh with the Powerlevel10k theme. It makes the terminal experience much more pleasant.

# My favorite alias
alias ll="ls -la"
alias gs="git status"
alias gp="git push"

Design Tools

For quick mockups and designs, Figma is unbeatable. The collaborative features make it perfect for working with others.

Browser Extensions

• React Developer Tools - Essential for React debugging
• JSON Viewer - Makes API responses readable
• ColorZilla - Great for grabbing colors from websites
