Referrals

Here's some products and services I use that I think are pretty great. These are referral links and have bonuses for both of us if you're interested in signing up.

NordVPN

Best in class VPN service with great privacy protection and unparalleled ability to unblock streaming services from any country.

Airtable

Are you using a spreadsheet as a makeshift database? Now you don't have to anymore. Airtable is perfect for that in between place where your spreadsheet has become unwieldy but you don't want to deal with a database. Very easy to use.

Chase Sapphire Preferred Card

60,000 point signup bonus. This is a great travel card with a bunch of benefits.

AirBnB

This is my go-to for affordable places to stay when traveling. If you sign up with this link, you'll get $40 off your first stay and $15 off an "experience" (personally I haven't tried booking any of those through AirBnB yet but they do seem to have a nice selection of classes and tours and such). Alternatively, if you're in interested in signing up for AirBnB as a host, please use this link.

Dropbox

Back up your files and share them across computers. Easily create links to share files with others. I recently upgraded to the Pro plan and it's been invaluable.

Simple Analytics

Easy to use, privacy-friendly website analytics. Stop giving away your visitors' data to Google.

Transferwise

Now that I'm living overseas this is a godsend. Easily transfer money internationally with great exchange rates and minimal fees.

Linode

Hosting this website along with pretty much everything else I've done over the years, Linode has been incredibly reliable and easy to use. I recommend them to everyone looking for website hosting.

Zoho

A drop-in replacement for Google's GSuite. I moved my mail hosting there in order to reduce my reliance on Google and they've been great.

Reuven Lerner

I've been following Reuven's Better Developers newsletter for a few years now and there's always interesting nuggets of Python knowledge. I did the Weekly Python Exercise course too and there's a lot to learn no matter how long you've been programming Python. Highly recommended.
