Reviews of the most interesting devtools and latest beta releases.
Here's the latest newsletter sent on 2026-01-08.
Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.
Terminal UI for AWS.
Uses existing auth options (AWS SSO, credentials, config, env-vars) with multiple profile and region support. Supports lots of resource types (compute, databases, networking, logs). Vim-style navigation and commands. Provides detailed (JSON/YAML) views of resources. Filtering and pagination.
Doesn’t support all resources, so may have some limitations depending on your AWS service usage.
Python package & project manager.
Replaces your Python toolchain - makes it easy to manage virtual environments, dependencies, Python versions, workspaces. Supports package version management and publishing workflows. Built-in build backend. Cached dependency deduplication. Very fast.
Not quite at a stable release version yet, but is effectively stable.
Here's the interesting beta and early access releases we featured this week.

CLI for Git worktree management.
