Hi, I was there at the talk and I couldn’t see the slides due to my poor vision, so thank you for recording it. But I came here to ask if you could name any productivity tools that are open source or cheaper than ReSharper? Being a student I cannot afford a license but would like to practice productivity. (Great talk, by the way)
ReSharper is free for students https://www.jetbrains.com/student/
