i will dump anything cool related to software here. i will try to categorize them, so in case i fail categorizing them in the future, just prompt against the page and ask any ai.

pro tip: pick whatever works for you, do not get too attached to a technology. you're a problem solver, not a typescript or python writer. never stop learning.

my must-haves

python

  • uv — please please please stop using those shitty requirements.txt and unmanageable virtual environments
  • ruff — your code needs to be beautiful and readable
  • pyrefly — run real type checks on your messy code
  • ty — still in preview, but same as above

go

go has almost everything you need directly on the std library

  • sqlc — cool sql to type-safe code

js

  • k6 — best load-testing tool out there, check if your apis are production ready

rust
