Choosing and comparing tools
Timebox your research, then pick a tool
Tools I currently use, tried and liked, or have on my list to try.
Desktop and Coworkthinking through a problem, and building simple automations.
building and shipping software.
design iteration, mocking up an interface, and prototyping.
questions where I want current search results.
in the browserquick copyediting and rewriting.
recording and editing podcasts and video.
The gap between using one tool and using none is far bigger than the gap between any two tools.
