@chris I’d love to help you out, but thanks to ADHD my /uses turned into a whole public brain thing. Too much “well in this context I use this, and in that context I use that, and–”
Stuck on macOS currently, so my list may narrow enough to be a list.
As for the VS Code dilemma, you can at least spice that up by highlighting some core plugins for your workflow.
Thought I’d listen to some radio-friendly hip hop from the early 90s and damn there was a lot of casual violence against women in there. Stopped the track and played my faves from the day and yeah that’s better.

So I told myself at the beginning of the week that it would take me three or four days to write this code. If you squint, the estimate was correct. I could do something about the granularity, though.
If I took my “almost every waking hour of the day” initial estimate and fit those into office hours, the healthy estimate would have been eight days, or twelve days with meetings. More with the red tape wrapped around most work.
@grmpyprogrammer Even as a technical user, it’s frustrating. The bubbles of Fediverse usage have sort of crystallized.
Most folks who say “I know, I’ll try Mastodon” start at mastodon dot social, but it’s so poorly moderated that we can’t just have an open door for them. I may never know my friends have joined.
Tech types can run your own server. Mastodon itself needs a chunky setup that’s expensive for personal budgets. Akkoma runs nice and cheap, but a little virality can knock you out of commission or spike your wallet. Oh and follow the fediban tag.
