I'm pretty minimal about scripts, I have a few aliases for the command line and a few for git, use exa instead of ls and ripgrep instead of the classic grep.

I recently went back to Sublime Text 3 from Visual Studio Code because it's faster and consumes less resources and although I love VS Code, I noticed how I have all the plugins I really need over there (mostly highlighting and an inline linter).

That's mostly it.

didn't know about exa till today! will definitely check it out.

I use vscode on my machine as well. I can testify to its resource consumption, I thought at first it was due to the number of extensions I have running. most times its a quick edit and nano does it for me, sadly not sure I'll ever get the hang of vi/vim
