My company offers a $1,000 yearly stipend for professional development, which I can use on courses, software, or subscriptions to enhance my skills. I'm looking for some great recommendations, especially related to development tools and educational resources. What are some cool things I should consider spending this on?

You should totally check out ChatGPT Pro! It's a game changer for coding help and brainstorming ideas. Plus, it can really speed up your workflow.
That stipend is awesome! If it includes conference costs, I recommend using part of it to attend industry events. GitHub Universe is happening soon; I've heard great things about it! The rest of your budget could go towards platforms like Frontend Masters or Wes Bos, which offer fantastic courses.
I'd suggest investing in some online courses. Frontend Masters has a lot of great material, and while it's a subscription, it's very worth it. You could also look into tools that enhance your workflow, like GitHub Copilot. And hey, if you have side projects, using some funds for hosting them is a smart move!
Thanks for the tip! I think I’ll definitely use some of it for hosting—I've been meaning to get back to my DigitalOcean account.
