Coding tools
Solo builders win on leverage. These are coding and AI tools that help you scaffold, debug, and ship without waiting on a team. The list skews toward daily-driver assistants and modern editors, not every CI vendor or enterprise IDE plugin. Pick one primary AI workflow, keep your stack boring, and spend the saved hours on product and distribution.
