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

YouTube music only, unfortunately. Unfortunate not because it's the only expense of its type that I have, but because like so many Google products it's a worse version of something they used to offer for free. And there isn't a good alternative that I've found yet, and no music streaming service pays the artists anything worth mentioning.

Too many but here’s a few off the top of my head:

  • GitHub Pro and Copilot
  • ChatGPT
  • Linode (I self-host a lot of things but keep Nextcloud off-site for backups)
  • YouTube Premium and Nebula
  • RadarScope, Windy, and NightSky (astronomy hobby plus I live in NOLA so good weather apps are kind of a must have)
  • Feedly
  • Bitwarden
  • TripIt
  • Apple Music

There’s more but as a developer, I try to pay for software. (I mean, if I don’t, who will?) I’ll sail the high seas for some stuff but only if the company pisses me off.
