Solid list! I'd maybe throw in Figma for quick UI mockups and testing design ideas, and Docker if you're working on more complex projects or teams. VS Code and Git are definitely must-haves, and I totally agree, coffee might just be the most critical tool on that list 😂
I'd also add Figma for quick UI prototyping and Notion for organizing thoughts, especially during complex projects. When I worked on a white-label banking platform using https://kindgeek.com/core_payment_platform (https://kindgeek.com/core_payment_platform), having a tight toolkit made a huge difference. Postman was key for testing APIs, and Git kept the team sane with version control. ChatGPT is surprisingly helpful for debugging and dоcumentation rewrites too. These tools don't just speed things up, they help keep everything clean, collaborative, and creative.
