Tools - What and When to use
There is a dozen of tools me and my friends use daily. We save time, effort and automate safety. CI works for us.
We have better sleep and more time for fun work. Yet, you might have missed them.
I made this tiny page to put them all in single place and make it easy to use for everyone. Lazy coding!
