The JavaScripter’s Toolbox
summary
A concrete tool list with workflow rules and examples: node.js/npm, git plus hosted remotes (GitHub/GitLab) with webhooks for tests and deploys, visual Git clients like Tower, editors (Sublime, TextWrangler, WebStorm), TypeScript, Sass, JSHint, Chrome DevTools, uglifyjs and grunt. Claims include aiming for tools that take about a week to learn, operating as a 17‑person shop on projects from ~3 man‑months to a few man‑years, using uglify Define to strip debug dead code, and a built tool Rexer used by about 10,000 people a day.
