A compendium of tools that you do not need

As developers, we love dev tools.

They are helpful (until we try to use them for our specific problem that is almost the same as the intended usage).

They save us time (until a transitive dependency update breaks our application).

Every library we install has a cost and (hopefully) also provides a benefit. This is a collection of tools that have a greater cost than benefit, for most teams.
