If by “productivity” you mean word processor, spreadsheet, slide presentation, etc: Google Suite (or whatever it's called this week). Does what I need, doesn’t get in my way otherwise. Clients like it for review comments and rev history.

Great article, thanks for sharing.

Kinda related: I just talked with a consultant about training “coders who write” to communicate better. I yammered on about passive voice and markdown. He wasn't interested, he wants to train his team on soft skills when dealing with clients.

Just switched from ChatGPT to Google Gemini, included with my Google Workspace subscription. It works well enough for my needs. I find myself iterating more for coding than I did with ChatGPT.

Nice. They're handy, inexpensive machines, right?

In my homelab I have 2 Lenovo M series ThinkCentres, also with 16 GB and SSD. They run headless with Debian, Docker, Coder, git, Syncthing, and Samba.

Indeed. “Nothing is emphasized when everything is emphasized.”
