rr

The rr debugger [1]. I _desperately_ missed it after switching to a mac laptop -- to the point that I now have an older linux system which exists primarily to run rr.<p>I've _heard_ that Pernosco [2] (partly built on rr, AFAIK) is even more revolutionary, but haven't yet tried it myself.<p>[1] <a href="https://rr-project.org/" rel="nofollow">https://rr-project.org/</a>.

Retool

Retool [1]. Its been years since I've ran into a software product to support software teams which could so fundamentally change how you build things, and how you build the things you build. Retool can basically cut down the effort of making internal administrative dashboards by, like, a solid 70%. I still sometimes run into dashboards other engineers have made on Retool and say "holy shit you can do this?" or "how did we have the time to build this, is it really that easy?"<p>[1] <a href="https://retool.com/" rel="nofollow">https://retool.com/</a>.
