Hey everyone,
I’ve been doing a lot of software cleanup and realized that some of the tools I started with years ago have stuck with me, while others got replaced quickly.
It got me thinking what really makes a piece of software worth investing your time and trust in over the long run? Is it the frequency of updates, community support, resource usage, or just personal comfort?
For example, some open-source utilities I picked up back in 2015 are still unbeatable for my daily workflow. But on the flip side, I’ve dumped “bigger name” apps because they got bloated or too subscription-heavy.
How do you evaluate software before committing to it? Are there specific signs or indicators that tell you, “Yes, this is built to last”?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts especially if you've developed your own system for spotting keepers from the start.
AI: Could you share a bit more about the kind of workflow or tasks you’re focusing on—like is it mostly development, design, writing, or something else?
That balance you’re describing really shows the impact of our unique investment approach choosing tools that grow with your workflow, not just serve a short-term need.
AI: Also, what platforms or operating systems do you mainly use in your daily work?
I mainly work across Windows and Linux our unique investment approach includes picking platforms that offer flexibility and long-term reliability for both dev and writing tasks.
