[@Ricardoromero4444]

Once I found out pnpm also manages node versions, I abandoned fnm

[@anarcus]

​@@Ricardoromero4444 it does? What's the command?

[@maxprehoda1544]

thank you so much, theo uses some great stuff and is a talented developer but these videos put me to sleep so fast.

[@taquanminhlong]

Thanks Theo, your videos are really inspiring, and your solutions really help me not just with the tech problems I've been facing, but also with my day-to-day life

[@luissolanodev]

Came here for a toolbox, ended with a toolbox and nice time management advices. Very useful! I think you should do more time management videos, you certainly give the impression of a very organized person.

[@null_spacex]

Free early content nerds

[@austincodes]

Awesome recommendations. These tools are genuinely super useful!

[@SuperhumanCo]

Great video, Theo! We're so glad you gave Superhuman a try and that it's worked out so well for you. We hope you continue to find it helpful! 😌

[@mikeyim9985]

This is amazing. Thank you for this!

[@picklebrownie]

Incredible knowledge to have, thank you 💯

[@benanderson6797]

Loving the new angle in your videos. I really love the Mandala wallpaper/poster you have

[@sasankthapa8493]

I really like the new setup def. a big improvement in video production😁

[@appuser]

You're killing it Theo, great job.

[@svict4]

Thanks again for this great content

[@mnoquiao]

Great Vid! Thanks I'm learning a lot.

[@ChadGauthier]

Warp for the fact that you can edit anywhere in the command you are providing, easy history and copying outputs, suggested autocompletes. There's a ton of other cool features I don't touch that may be helpful that I do not even touch

[@SimplyMerlin]

this is the most interesting alogrithm strategy of the year, getting extra clickthrough from endscreen by putting 'you're early' AND getting the push when unlisting, thats badass.

[@clingyking2774]

Great content on the channel

[@AdrienAranda]

Took me a while to see them but good choice with those JBL LSR305, got the same pair in front of me👍

[@thegrumpydeveloper]

Discord for work and get user feedback in one place seems great. Would like to be closer to them and being in one place is a great idea.

[@karthivijayakumaar6634]

Idk how I came to this unlisted video but it's great

[@GBlunted]

This was so helpful to me being a super noob trying to learn cloud stuff starting with how they call everything web apps when I just wanna start with a simple website! I did finally discover static web apps is how they refer to these... However the next choice is always between: Vue, React, NextJS. And I like your consideration of docs because that's why I've bounced between Azure and GCP with Azure docs being 10/10 and GCP being 3/10. Just found it interesting to see docs be a legit factor in these technology choices we have to make... Thumbs 👍🏽

[@Gahlfe123]

webhook thing sounds really cool, especially with testing my stripe endpoints

[@cariyaputta]

Joplin is another great note/todo/knowledge-base application. If you can't afford PS, Gimp is just as great for non-professional use-cases. Kreya is a great alternative to Postman, the UX is much simpler and I use it extensively to test GRPC endpoints.

[@nachiketkanore]

This is becoming my favourite channel

[@calebvaccaro]

I like Linear, but I love Youtrack. Great video

Thanks bro

[@poleski7281]

Thoughts on Obsidian over Notion?

[@PapaVikingCodes]

heavy handed video is a beast to tame thanks for the refined list bro bro.

[@DoctorSoulis]

You should post all of your diagrams and share us a link if that's possible because they're really good.

[@andreicatalin7]

Have you tried Warp terminal?

[@ze_kel]

Re: terminal Have you tried warp? I’be been a stock terminal guy for years, but this one made me switch. Blazingly fast(rust) and pretty hi

[@abdulhannan5672]

Heard about it in a random techy review video, tried it and it's been the best terminal experience so far. 🙌🏻It's a shame many people still don't know about it.

[@yapet]

Damn, last vid I expressed my nitpicks of animations, and this one is really nice. Honestly, great vid!

[@GratuityMedia]

❤

[@guacattack9132]

What does Raycast do for math that Spotlight doesn't already do? The example at 5:00 looks exactly the same when I try it

[@TheKennyWorld]

It would be great if you make a video on how to use Linear

[@corbanvilla8607]

Raycast clipboard history is a game changer

[@AbdallahAA1997]

Have you tried Warp for terminal?

[@Artybruh]

Oh man I would love to hear more about why you don’t like Jira (I’m in the same boat)

[@franksimon5291]

Sure, state management outside Angular is great. Guess that's why we started moving *everything* to Redux, then tried React Context, Mobx, Recoil, React-Query, Redux Toolkit... And the list goes, and goes, and goes, until hey, we rediscovered Observables again 😅

[@thegrumpydeveloper]

Morgen is closer to the task based calendar app I wanted.

[@Dharmic_developer]

I already real about every tool at your blog😅 But still seeing your vid

[@hanes2]

Notion is neat. But left it because it doesn’t support offline mode which is frustrating if u like me take the train at times.

[@JuicyBenji]

Warp is soooooooo much better than normal terminal. I feel absolutely handicapped in a terminal that isn't warp.

[@atikshakur]

I'm really strugling with database when it comes to deploying to the whole world. I love MySQL. Is serverless database the choice? Please make a video about this topic.

[@paulk.8681]

Idk if you have already, but Planetscale is worth checking out I think. Haven't used it much myself so can't really recommend it, but it seems pretty good.

[@atikshakur]

Is is like edge? similar latency from all over the world?

[@paulk.8681]

@@atikshakur they were talking about adding geographically spread sharding a couple of years ago, don’t know if they’ve done it already

[@raphaelqueiroz3105]

I like pnpm's node version managing, one less thing to install

[@canepaper967]

8:18 cmder!

[@musaamuhsen]

9.14 cracked me up 😂

[@apoorvaaman]

I also use fnm, pretty good

[@aleksandr2245]

It’s funny how small your online presence is. You are as to the new era of web development as Dave Asprey is to biohacking. Thank you for this channel.

No judgement! 😊

[@ahmadaccino]

Are you a/b testing your videos? 🤨

[@anshnanda]

you said notion instead of linear at 2:00 lmao

[@voidmind]

That was worth watching just to learn about vscode-pets

[@shneor5234]

Try Sunsama and forget about TickTask

[@jed_2526]

sooo apparently warp has split panes so i useed to be a tmux user but i will be promptly switching over to warp because that was the last thing i needed. What do you think, you wanna give it a try @t3dotgg ?
