  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS

  • ShellCheck

    ShellCheck, a static analysis tool for shell scripts

  • Bash because it's everywhere and I've put effort into learning it properly. My scripts almost always pass shellcheck first try, and I know the syntax of bash-specific features reasonably well. I don't see any advantage to learning another shell which I need to explicitly install and relearn all over again.

  • ble.sh

    Bash Line Editor―a line editor written in pure Bash with syntax highlighting, auto suggestions, vim modes, etc. for Bash interactive sessions.

  • Bash + ble.sh = fish like interactive features but still bash.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
