SponsorBlock is essential now. I switched from iPad to an Android tablet largely so I could use YouTube ReVanced. And on Android TV there's SmartTube Next.
I get that creators gotta eat, but I pay for YouTube Premium already. If they would stop accepting sponsorships from scam companies I might even stop blocking those.
One of the big problems with JIRA is it's extremely configurable, so your experience depends entirely on how your admins have set it up. If your company is the type to micromanage, JIRA gives them a lot of tools to do that, which I think is why it gets so much hate from devs. I find it tolerable in my current job but it's definitely designed for managers and not for developers.
Carbon Black. As a software developer, running unknown/untrusted binaries is kind of a big part of my job. We also had a MITM SSL-intercepting proxy which made my life miserable, especially when dealing with Docker containers. I actually ended up patching Docker to automatically inject the certificates and proxy environment variables.
On the plus side I learned a lot about certificate errors which has made me the go-to guy for any SSL issues in my current job.
+1 to this! I bought the same chair from them a couple years ago, and as a remote worker it's been worth every cent. Oddly enough I had the Leap v1 as a previous job and hated it, but the v2 has been great for me. I found the armrests a bit uncomfortable but some cheap memory foam covers solved that.
My first VPS was for a Minecraft server so I named it cobblestone. I've kept using Minecraft related names for all my machines since then, and I try to pick ones that are at least vaguely related to the function or appearance of the machine. For example my cluster has brute for the master and piglin01-piglin04 for the workers, but those are the only ones I've numbered.
The exception is my two Klipper RPi's, one is octopi since that's what it originally ran, and the other is named after the model of the printer. For some reason I never named my printers.
I probably wouldn't use a naming scheme like this for production servers though - I'd either go with functional hostnames or something like the periodic table which you can pick from arbitrarily. My home servers and clients aren't cattle though, so I like having a little personality to the names there.
