Hello there! In this post, I want to share with you the tools that I have been using on my workflow and helped me become more productive and efficient. This is a always evolving post, so I'll try to keep track of what has changed through the years and why. Inspired by Wes Bos's uses.tech.
Applications ⌨️
- Visual Studio code. My main app for software development and anything related. My VSCode configuration in terms on theme, font and extensions changes a lot dependending on what I've been studying/doing lately. Here's my current setup:
- Editor font: Input. It doesn't support font ligatures but it's something that I've stopped using lately, since it confuses some explanations on my classes (arrow functions, for example).
- Theme: Aura Soft Dark (Soft Text)
- Extensions: CodeSnap. Image Preview. Import Cost. Jest. Jest Snippets. Live Server. Markdown All In One. Prettier. Rainbow CSV. Template String Converter. Wakatime.
- Spotify. My main music app since 2014, I hate the podcast section inside the app but I still use it anyway. Check my playlists.
- Intellij IDEA Ultimate. Since I work as a professor, I have a license to use the Ultimate version of Intellij IDEA, and honestly, it's by far the best IDE to work with Java related technologies/frameworks such as Spring Boot.
- Insomnia/Postman. I've used Postman a lot before, however, Insomnia is managing to meet all my needs lately, I can't give a specific reason for switching.
- iTerm2 w/ ZSH + Oh-my-ZSH. On top of this configuration, I'm using Powerlevel10k.
- Notion.
- Slack.
- DBeaver.
- Microsoft Edge.
- Homebrew.
- JQ.
- 1Password.
- Karabiner-Elements.
- Magnet.
