Uses
For the unaware, this is inspired by the /uses page idea
Text Editor
I flip flop a lot in this area.
For quick edits, including this page, I pop out nvim although I’m not proficient enough to know many of the keyboard shortcuts.
For Python and Golang projects, nvim-lspconfig has been really interesting and is convincing me to take up neovim as my full time editor.
For larger projects, I tend to reach for Sublime Text although I haven’t gotten around to setting up any shared configuration across my devices.
Terminal
Currently, I use iTerm2 with Hack Italic 12 and the Dracula colour scheme.
Everything else is stock and unconfigured.
Computers
- Macbook Pro 15-inch 2020 as my work… workstation
- mac Mini 2018 as my home workstation
- Macbook Air M1 as my remote workstation
Everything except my work laptop is currently running the 2021 Beta (iOS 15, macOS Monterey etc) because I thought notification grouping and built in focus seemed like killer features I didn’t want to wait for!
