1. Switching to Go for programming

2. Password manager

3. My brother's Commandline Completion tool https://github.com/zerocorebeta/Option-K

I used to forget most of the commandline.

4. Visual Studio Code

5. Tailscale (used to wait time with ssh -D and socks5 using proxychains shadowsocks.

Problem is they can be blocked by ISP or require lot more configuration than tailscale and are hard to debug when they don't work.

6 about LLLms in coding, I am still waiting for something like cursor but opensource so that I can extend it for my usecase.

In current state cursor and likes are heavily limiting for my workflow.
