My Workflow / Tool Setup

It’s been a while (maybe never) since I wrote about my workflow setup to share with friends, and also to track how my setup will evolve across the year.

Hardware

• Dell XPS 13 - Codename: Nano
  • This is used for business stuff and when portability is needed
  • i5, 8gb, 256GB ssd
• PC - Codename: Acid
  • i5, 8gb, 256GB ssd, GTX-760
  • This is my primary machine for Gaming + Development
  • Logitech MK120 mouse + keyboard combo
  • Some redgear 7.1 gaming headset
  • Dual 21” Monitor setup
• Mac Mini 2019 - Codename: MacNCheese / mini
  • I use this primarily for iOS development
  • i3 + 8GB + 128GB ssd

Software

My development workflow is mostly terminal based.

Lets explore it from the outermost layer to the innermost:

• Windows 10 (Insider Slow Ring, Fast Ring if I need some new feature)
• Windows Terminal
• WSL 2
• Ubuntu 18.04
• ZSH
• NeoVim with coc.nvim

Other software:

• Firefox for personal stuff
• Chrome for work stuff
• Dropbox for File Sync
• Illustrator & Photoshop to do a bit of design from time to time.
• Riot (Matrix Client), Slack, & Discord for chat stuff.
• Thunderbird for mail (and trying out neomutt on a few accounts)
• OpenVPN Community client for Windows
• Listary for easier directory browsing
• KeePassX for managing passwords
• Steam for games

That’s the high level view of my setup.

I’ll be updating this post with more detials over the course of this year. So keep checking ^_^
