Really just curious what folks out there deem valuable enough to give money for monthly or annually. As a software engineer I have quite a few that keep me productive and I’ll list a few:

  • ChatGPT
  • Perplexity
  • Obsidian Sync
  • YouTube Premium
  • Mike@sh.itjust.works

    For me, as an SRE:

    • Mullvad VPN
    • Google Drive (until I set up my NAS)
    • YouTube Premium
    • ChatGPT (but I am thinking of trying out Claude 3 instead)

    Other, non-tech subscriptions:

    • Public transport
    • Public bike sharing
    • Food delivery

    Things I might pay for if my employer didn’t:

    • IntelliJ Ultimate
    • GitHub Copilot

    Random IT-adjacent services I occasionally donate to:

    • Codeberg
    • Wikipedia
