Working in IT requires a lot of general and tool-specific knowledge. Most of these skills, tips and tricks are too small to deserve a separate post. So I compiled these “useful bits” into a sort of today-I-learned or Cheat-sheet summaries.

By topic

Linux

Python

Cypress

Hugo – static site generator

Useful tools and resources

Hemingway Editor – to make texts more readable.

Grammarly – the same as with the Hemingway Editor. I use only the free web version without the browser extension for security and privacy reasons.

Front-end development

Can I use – the place for checking browser support for front-end technologies.

MDN – one stop for all specs and examples on JavaScript, CSS, and HTML.

keycode.info – helps to get key codes and other properties for key press events in JavaScript.

lipsum.com – generate Lorem Ipsum text.

Databases

MongoDB Compass – very useful for developing with MongoDB, especially for visually building complex aggregation pipelines.

Misc

timestampgenerator.com – generate time in many formats.
