I'm cancelling subscriptions like crazy, I don't have any streaming TV subs left at all. I replaced them with something that gives actual value:

  • Kagi search engine. This wonderful thing has made me discover how much good sites there are out there!

  • Fastmail. Really fast and lots of actually useful features.

  • Jetbrains editors. I actually like the new user interface. :)

+1 to JetBrains.

I started using them like 8 years ago and have never looked back. My dad introduced them to me when I was doing some homework on a family trip and my laptop was dead. After that, I used them for every class in college, then used them at a job where they didn't provide an IDE but I had the subscription.

Even when I'm not developing at home consistently, it's just so much better to have it than not.
