Ask HN: “tools wiki” Is there anything like a curated list or Wiki of Software Engineering tools; a place where you'd go to see what tools are used for a given task. For instance, tools for Configuration Management, frameworks for Web dev, Database systems, etc. |
You can find a curated master list of awesome lists here: https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome
Examples: https://linux.zeef.com and https://databases.zeef.com
Saying "use X for config management" does nothing but create a culture of followers who have no real idea why they do what they do.
Instead, pick a topic and try learning about the pros and cons of the available tools/solutions, and then consider the implications of using it for your environment (or for different types of environments if you do client work for example, and then experiment with it.
My point is: A list is not worth much, if the criteria used for selecting the list's items, are not clearly stated.
