Operating Systems
- MacOS: Switched over from Linux after many years. I love linux but there was always something that didn't quite work.
- Linux: Home server and legacy laptop.
- Windows: Gaming system attached to TV.
Documentation and Programming Languages
- Markdown: Been using markdown as a primary documentation language for over a decade.
- Typescript: Primary language for web development.
Editors
- helix: Nice editor that comes with most bits and bobs included.
- vscode: Editor for some edge cases that don't work in helix.
Frameworks
- react: framework chosen for next big work project.
- vue: maintenance for some legacy code.
Shell Stuff
- git, ripgrep, fd, zsh, fish, and others
- I'll call out lazygit because something about git fails to stick in my brain after a decade of using it.
Sewing
Janome sewing machine and bits and bobs of equipment I've picked up over a decade. I've done patterns from Freesewing, Muna and Broad, and others.
Stationery
A lot of serious thinking happens with pen and paper first. I usually go with medium-grade spiral bound notebooks and something like a Pilot G2 Gel by default. The top ideas get typed into a git repository of markdown files.
Books and Documents
A Kobo for most reading and Calibre to collect it all. Calibre also gets sewing patterns.
