VSCode Postgres Extension

https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/adforpostgresql/announcing-a-new-ide-for-postgresql-in-vs-code-from-microsoft/4414648

Postgres is our default when it comes to an RDMS so any tool that supports that effort is of interest. This tool not only provides what I would consider core functionality like data/schema visualization, connection management, history and data exploration but also extensive AI agent integration to aid in sql query and schema optimization. I’ve already started using this tool and so far am impressed.

Zen Browser

Given some of the privacy concerns around Chrome I welcome competition in the browser space. Zen’s tag line is “Beautifully designed, privacy-focused, and packed with features..

We care about your experience, not your data.” It is based on Firefox so the rendering engine is battle tested. I recently installed it and am trialing it as my daily driver browser for a week to see if it is worth making the switch.

FastFetch

Fastfetch is a modern, performance-oriented system information tool that serves as a spiritual successor to neofetch. Written primarily in C with a focus on performance and customizability, fastfetch displays system information in a visually appealing format and supports an impressive range of platforms including Linux, macOS, Windows 7+, Android, and various BSD systems. I’ve reached for neofetch when I need a simple, easy way to show system stats in the CLI. Given fastfetch is faster and actively maintained, I’ll be using it.
