I certainly was not suggesting the latter. Generating strong passwords is one function of a good password manager.

Also agreed.
As far as I'm concerned, password managers are a great idea. They're a must. Having one send its data, even encrypted (obviously) to a central repository...not so much.
Personally, convenience be damned, I'm not having any password manager sync across devices if it has to go across the internet to do so. The hackers will attack the big juicy target incessantly. Myself, at home, behind my NAT router? As laughable as a consumer router is, there's simply much less to be gained.

As Richard already mentioned, you should be using a password manager. My company encourages and authorizes use of a few different ones.
I would seriously consider not working for a company that is STUPID enough not to encourage the use of password managers for their employees.

I know that being a developer doesn't only mean writing good code. Agreed that it is a primary responsibility of a developer, but he/she should have good knowledge about other tools like Code version control (GIT, SVN etc.), Project management tools (Jira, Zoho etc.), Good communication skills, knowledge about shortcuts of the editor they use for better productivity.
What else comes to your mind, that can help a developer to write better code?

Good code doesn't come from packages, or software: it comes from experience.
Practice, practice, practice. And then practice some more. This is the way.

I agree with OriginalGriff (where did that name come from)

My real world name is not a secret - it's Paul Griffin.
When I signed up, that name was gone. So was "Griffin", "PGriffin", "Griff", "TheGriff" and every other combo until I got to "OriginalGriff" So that was my name. I've kinda grown into it now, so I respond to "Paul" (Herself), "Paul Griffin" (Herself when I've been bad), "Griff" (Loads of people), "OG" (Some people, mostly here), "Mr Griffin" (Telesales and policemen).
I use it a lot on t'interwebs now as it's generally untaken.

I'll wait for it to be done and then binge it.

Yeah, a week is a long time in politics, but it's even longer between episodes of something good.

The Mandalorian[^] But between series 2 and 3, you need to watch The Book of Boba Fett[^] as the last three episodes continue the Mandalorian story line and there'd be a "big jump" or "plot hole the size of Tatooine" if you didn't! This is the way.

I watched the first one and was not overly impressed, but now I can binge watch both, by which time s3 should be complete. This is going to piss off the better half, I going to want the BIG TV.

Agreed, but we can gain experience either from past mistakes or getting guidance from the sr. teammate. In this fast-paced competitive world, learning from mistakes is not a good thing. so, I prefer the second way to get knowledge about things that can make a programmer a good programmer.

Software of any type will help you produce code faster, but not better.
Anyone can produce bad code quickly: good developers produce good code, expert developers produce good code quickly. Experience is what differentiates between them.
There are two type of learning: rote and skill. Rote learning is memorising stuff: history dates, capital cities, whole books, programming languages. Skill learning is how to do something: riding a bicycle, driving a car, flying a kite, playing a violin, writing code.
And learning from your mistakes is how you learn. You don't learn much from anything that works first try - it takes humans effort to learn skills.
Think about riding a bicycle: you can read theory, you can watch experts riding in the Tour de France as mush as you like: the first time you get on a bike, you will fall off (unless you have a parent or trainer wheels). And the second time you might get further before falling off. Eventually, your body learns the tiny shifts and adjustments to make all the time and it just works - but you couldn't explain how to do that to anyone in a way that means they get on a bike of the first time and win a race because you don't "know"!
Similarly, you can jump in a car for the first time and employ what you learned from watching your dad: you start the engine like this, mash this peddle to the floor, slam this stick thataway, floor the other peddle and let go of the first one. You're off! But you will wipe out on the first corner because you don't have the skill to know how fast is safe. Or you'll overcompensate, clip a curb, and flip the car. Or blow the engine to pieces.
It's the same with any skill - the only way to get good at it is to practice!

Thanks for clarifying. I didn't mean to get the list of tools to quickly generate the code.
For example, I can produce good code, but if I know the code version tool, I can maintain it in a proper way without creating a local backup multiple times just to make sure that I don't lose the track of last working code.
Similar way, If I know certain things in the code editor, for example renaming a variable with a shortcut. I can do it automatically rather than going to each place and changing the variable where it was used.
