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

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
