5個我每天都離不開的App

Hello everyone, I'm Terry Today I'm going to share with you 5 tools or apps that I use every day I usually write code and manage my own business and deal with some messy things I will use these 5 tools every day It really improves my work efficiency Without them, it's hard for me to continue my daily operations Before the video starts, I want to say that these tools are actually very ordinary Many of you may have used it But I like to use the simplest tools to achieve the greatest work efficiency

I don't like things that are too complicated or too advanced Because sometimes it will actually cause an extra overhead And it's not necessary And the tools I shared with you today I've used apps for more than a year The first one is VS Code or Cursor Actually, I didn't plan to put this in today's video I was going to say that I would make another video later Specifically talking about software engineers' work

But because I really use VS Code every day So I think I still put this thing in I believe if you are an engineer Or if you work in the technology industry I should have heard of VS Code or used it VS Code should also be the standard for engineers to work now If you want to integrate AI into VS Code You can try Cursor Cursor is a version from VS Code Fork

Then they developed it themselves and added AI into it. In Cursor, you can choose whether you want to use the ChetGPT model or Cloud. They also have their own Cursor model. Then you can add your own API token and use it. Of course, the other option is to use Copilot. You can use VS Code directly with Copilot. I think it's actually almost the same. It depends on what tool you are used to using. The second one is Cloud LLM. In fact, in addition to Cloud, I occasionally use ChetGPT to solve a lot of problems for me. But in terms of coding, Cloud 3.5 Sonnet should be the strongest at the moment.

Although according to the latest leaderboard ChatGPT 4.0 seems to have beaten 3.5 Sonnet But 3.5 Sonnet's knowledge caught off is April this year So the data should be newer than ChatGPT I personally think that Cloud is better than the UI of ChatGPT ChatGPT's web UI is really pretty bad Of course, if you just want to ask the general question I think you can use anything

Their performance is not too different. We can see on the leaderboard that GPT-4 is the strongest model at the moment. I haven't tried Grag 2, but XAI is really good. In just a few months, Grag 2 was the first leaderboard. To be honest, I rarely go to Google after having LLM.

The only thing that will be used for Google is to find the latest information at the moment For example, I want to find a website or a store If I have a problem that I need to solve, I will ask LLM first Of course, if you want to ask LLM questions, you need to know if LLM is able to answer this question. Next, LLM is not yet able to solve a big problem If you tell him clearly what he needs to do, he can do a small thing very well

But if the problem is wider and the scope is larger, it may start to make some useless things. So how to ask LLM questions also requires a lot of practice. Another is the degree of their knowledge update. For example, you want it to help you summarize the numbers of the last NVIDIA financial report. It may not be possible to do it simply by LLM. Because its model knowledge cutoff may be half a year ago. He doesn't know what happened after half a year. But in fact, many of the front pages of LLM's web have already been configured with automatic search functions.

For example, in the front of Perplexity and ChatGPT, if you ask them about the latest event, the app will automatically search for the latest information for you. But Perplexity is not omnipotent. I think its search function is also more basic. If you need deeper information search,

Currently, you still have to manually search on Google Then you can organize the data you have received by LLM Because the strengths of LLM are language organization, reasoning, and nonsense summary LLM itself is not very creative It also can't get real-time information But you can use flexible and different tools to improve your own work efficiency Anyway, I haven't manually typed code for a long time Most of the time, I actually write prompts Then let LLM help me complete these tasks Finally, I go in and modify and check

In the future, software engineers will also become supervised coding. You don't really need to write codes one by one because the efficiency is too low. And then LLM will become the backend of many companies. The analysis and inference of the back end will be solved by LLM. Unlike before, we still need to use PyTorch to train our own model.

So if you are not used to using LLM to help you solve your daily work I would recommend you to start adapting earlier because this is the trend of the future The third tool is Notion I believe everyone should know Notion I don't think it's particularly useful But there seems to be no other tool better than Notion Before Notion came out, most of my time was using Google Docs and Google Sheets That is the most primitive way I know that Notion has many uses But I generally use it as my notebook

I don't use some of the advanced features on it. Most of them are used to record what I want to do, which projects and deadlines. I think Notion is overall pretty good, but it's not a good project management app. But for me, because I'm a team, it's actually enough. I usually use Notion to record some of the things I need to do, or some of the big future directions. I'll record them on Notion. If I'm not in front of the computer, I'll use the Note on the iPhone to write them down.

In addition, sometimes I'm in front of the computer But I'm too lazy to open Notion I usually write "note" on the subline As a place to write "note" temporarily I haven't seen anyone like me yet Take the subline as a tool for taking notes But I think it's pretty good It's very convenient and it opens very quickly

Another tool I want to introduce to you today is Odoo's Website Builder. Although I don't really use it every day, I know that many office workers, managers and business people need to learn and use business management software. For example, if you want to build a website, whether it's an e-commerce, blog, or company website, you can try Odoo's Website Builder. Even if you don't know how to write code at all, you can build an e-commerce within 10 minutes.

The most important thing is to use the single Odo website to make the module. It is free and the program code is also open source. First, go to Odo's website to make the homepage Then click "Start making a website" Enter your basic information and your website name Here is basically all the information you need to enter The next step is to simply tell it what kind of website you want to do and your goal The main thing here is to let it know what kind of template you want to recommend to start with Then you can choose your favorite color combination

Remember that these can be changed and adjusted at any time. Then you can choose what functions you want to add. Like I want to build an e-commerce today. I will choose the function of e-commerce. The last step is to choose the design you like. It's still the same. After that, you can change the details of each design. Then it's done. It's that simple. Within less than 10 minutes, your website has been created. Of course, what you see now is just a template.

You can enter the Odoe editor engine and start editing your website There is a very simple and easy UI in it You can design your website as you want without writing code If you are interested, I will put the link of Odoe's website production module in the information bar at the bottom of the video OK, let's go back to the topic of the video The fourth tool that I will use every day is the password management tool BigWarden I remember I shared it with you in the previous video I think BigWarden is the best password management tool for free and open source

Open source means you can host your Bitwarden server yourself If you want to control your password management tools 100% But I don't think it's necessary For most people, using Bitwarden's free version or paid version is enough Because all your passwords are encrypted from end to end at the client's end Bitwarden itself will not store and do not know what your main password is In addition to you, no one else can decode your password at the client's end

Unless you share this master keyword with others Of course, the open source software does not mean that it is 100% safe It doesn't mean that your client has no back door Will leak your password out These information security risks still exist But relatively speaking I think it's already a common person to do it The way to reduce the risk to the lowest

Of course, you can also use some other password management tools such as 1Password or LastPass Many companies use 1Password to manage their passwords What is the point? The point is to use password management tools Don't really remember your password in 2024 And some people all log in with the same password This risk is really high Although you may think your password is very complex and difficult to guess But as long as a website you used once If it has been hacked, your password may be exposed on the web

Not to mention some low-power, super easy to get rid of passwords. Those passwords can be guessed by using a rainbow watch. So I sincerely recommend the password management tool. Every login will have a unique password. And every password is randomly generated. You don't need to memorize it at all. You can copy and paste it whenever you want to use it.

As for what password management tools to use, it depends on what you like to use. I think the above is not bad. The fifth and also the last one I will use every day is Signal. Signal is a communication application software with a terminal to a terminal 0-4 server. And the whole software is open source. Then you must be curious why you use Signal. What's the difference between using Line, WhatsApp, Messenger, WeChat, Telegram?

The main difference is that Signal is developed by a non-profit organization. And all the messages are encrypted on Signal. And the back-end server will not keep your chat records. That means if I send you a message with Signal, Only you and I in the world will know what the message is.

The signal company's server can't see this message and won't keep this message. If the FBI wants to summon and arrest today, only you and my phone can see the chat records between us. They can't get this information through signal. But Facebook, Line, WeChat have all your chat records.

So as long as the enforcement officer takes a pass or search warrant, he can go to these companies to drop your chat record. Of course, the reason I use Signal is not because I want to do bad things. I just want to make sure I have 100% privacy. And many times it's not because my chat record has been investigated, but it's been sold. As long as these companies are hacked, your chat record may flow out. Of course, we just mentioned that these are all big companies, the probability of being hacked is very low. But if you want to make sure you have 100% privacy, you can use Signal.

With Signal, you can ensure that your chat record will not be dropped by the third party. And Signal should have more than 50 million users worldwide. So it is definitely not a small communication application software. Okay, the above five are the applications that I use every day. Share with you here

As for a team to improve the efficiency of work, you can still refer to Odoo. In addition to the website production applications introduced just now, Odoo has a whole set of ecological chain application systems that can help you and your company manage business levels, such as CRM, sales, project management, storage, timetable, etc. These tools can be integrated seamlessly,
