If workspaces had a way of managing separate Go subscriptions for team members, a large chunk of my org would jump in. DS and GLM are solid for a lot of tasks.

I use mcporter[0] for consuming MCP when suitable CLIs aren’t available. It exposes MCPs as shell commands. Agents compose using standard shell primitives. Tool returns json? Pipe into jq.
Another perk is it allows me to run tools in the exact same way as agents instead of treating MCP as a special way to call on services. Super valuable when debugging.

Canva is a group chat for students at the local school. The share function of projects as “channels”, comments for text, and slides a surface for sharing media.

Agreed. ASD-STE100 makes automated code reviews tolerable.

Aider as a non-agentic coding tool strikes a nice balance on the efficiency vs effectiveness front. Using tree-sitter to create a repo map of the repository means less filesystem digging. No MCP, but shell commands mean it can use utilities I myself am familiar with. Combined with Cerebras as a provider, the turnaround on prompts is instant; I can stay involved rather than waiting on multiple rounds of tool calls. It's my go-to for smaller scale projects.

I use gen.nvim[1] with for small tasks, like “write a type definition for this JSON” .
Running locally avoids the concern of sending IP or PII to third parties.

I tried Hurl after Insomnia went the way of Postman. The highlights you list were the strong drivers for testing it out. Where Hurl fell short was composing requests. Example: X.hurl response has authToken. Y.hurl uses authToken. Z.hurl uses authToken. There's no import ability[1], so you've got to use other tooling to copy X.hurl into Y.hurl and Z.hurl.
Ultimately settled on Bruno. It's backed by readable text files[2] as well. The CLI works for scripting. And the GUI is familiar enough that I've managed to convert Postman holdouts at my dayjob.

I use both.
Restic for various machines to hourly backup on a local server. Rclone to sync those backups to S3 daily.
Keeps the read/write ops lower, restores faster, and limits to a single machine with S3 access.

I migrated to Alpine for my laptop this year after an extended attempt of NixOS.
For development, I’ve found I’m more productive in that I don’t go down the rabbit hole of finding the “Nix way” of using a language/tool.
The speed of apk is refreshing for my older machine, and APKBUILDs are intuitive after my past experience with Arch PKGBUILD.
Drew DeVault has a decent write up on Alpine that’s worth a read. https://drewdevault.com/2021/05/06/Praise-for-Alpine-Linux.h...
