When I have a feeling that these tools will speed me up, I use them.
My client pays for a couple of these tools in an enterprise deal, and I suspect most of us on the team work like that.
If my goal was to max out every tool my client pays, I’d be working 24hrs a day and see no sunlight ever.
I guess it’s like the all you can eat buffet. Everybody eats a lot, but if you eat so much that you throw up and get sick, you are special.
Why? Because in my experience, the bottleneck is in shareholders approving new features, not my ability to dish out code.
if i hit the limit usually i'm not using it well and hunting around. if i'm using it right i'm basically gassed out trying to hit the limit to the max.
