As a developer, there are just some things you can't do without. I have found that there are three things that I need. Really need. If one of them is missing, I have trouble doing my job properly.

I call them <em>"The Three Corner stones of Developerhood"</em>:

<h3>1. Coffee</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most importantly coffee. I just can't do without it. I don't drink it to stay awake or anything, but it's just a warm beverage that keeps me focused and gives me the energy I need to keep working. I prefer coffee over all those horrible caffeine drinks.

<h3>2. A good text editor</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
No matter how good Integrated Developement Environments are, I always prefer my trusty <a href="http://macromates.com/">TextMate</a> to get things done for me.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Syntax highlighting and the huge amount of macro's is just a pleasure to work with. I support PHP, HTML, CSS and most importantly, Ruby on Rails.

<h3>3. Google</h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I can't tell you how many problems I've solved by using <a href="http://www.google.com">Google</a> to find the answer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Of course, you can just insert any search engine here, but Google is really my favourite. With <a href="http://groups.google.com">Google Groups</a> I can find stuff in news groups easily, and as a developer, news groups are a very valuable resource of information.

It's very well possible that you have three other corner stones. Feel free to comment them below and let me know.
