What I use

Below you find my current setup, varying from software and extensions to hardware. This list changes frequently as I like to try out new things and am always curious if another application is even better. Sounds familiar?

Editor

  • VSCode, occassionally Vim.

Theme

  • Tokyo Night

Plugins (worth mentioning)

  • Bracket Pair Colorizer
  • Debugger for Chrome
  • DotENV
  • ESLint
  • Gitflow
  • Github Pull Requests and Issues
  • GitLens
  • Go
  • GraphQL for VSCode
  • PHP Intelephense
  • Prettier
  • Sass
  • Vetur

Hardware

  • MacBook Pro 13-inch 2017 - Not a fan of the touchbar, big fan of the fingerprint scanner
  • BenQ PD2700U external monitor.
  • Magic Keyboard with numpad (black).
  • Magic Mouse 2 (black).

Languages

NodeJS

This is my go to weapon for when I want to quickly try out something. Getting up and running with a simple app.js and import axios is just so easy.

PHP

I have been using this more and more frequently again in the Laravel framework lately to help out on features at NoProtocol or when doing code-reviews. There is something predictable about PHP which makes it popular I suppose.

Golang

I recently found some time to dive into Golang and even though I'm still in the learning curve I'm already very fond of the language and it's build-tools. I'm hoping to do more and more with it in the near future and it might even replace NodeJS as my go-to-tool for quick prototypes or tasks.

Applications

  • iTerm2 to replace the standard terminal.
  • OhMyZSH
  • Sequel PRO
  • Sketch
  • Slack
