Tools that make your life easier as dev no gatekeeping

[Jason Voorhees]

Someone asked me this in the dms and thr message got too long so I taught i might as well make a thread about it. So here it is. I dont do much coding now but I did do a lot in my college and here are the websites that made my life easier.


Design & Ul Inspiration

I was and still am terrible at UX/UI design. They never taught us how to make a website look pretty, engaging and match the vibe of the product and there are people way more creative and artistic than you and me so instead of breaking your head over all this you can just go over to these websites for inspiration and copy them since actual artists and designer s make them. Just search for stuff like landing pages, dashboards, app screens and copy them.

Very random APIs exist like “otter picture API” where you can just randomly select an otter picture.

Github copilot is too expensive imo. Just pay for for Claude Opus and deepseek r1 they are both top tier.

banned from using deepseek and my company gives everything for free like i have ai ultra and chatgpt org already. but if i didn't have any of them i would probably still use gemini, right now context obliterates logic for what i need right now

Gemini is the context window king. Some 200k tokens or something It can take in entire codebases, UI specs, docs, and spreadsheets all at once.

What you are doing called batch processing. I'll give you a task that is more productive and would help the workflow. Write a script that monitors, updates or syncs data in real time. Like you hit save on a sheet,and it auto-updates the backend. Or you add a listing and updated price estimate with properly logging even better if you can use Restful APIs. Use gemini to generate this since a script like this would require a longer context window.
