The first tool or software that i setup is ofcourse operating system. There's no better tool than it. Setting it up as per my needs is what I first do. And it also helps knowing it better.

Must have tools

  • a terminal
  • vscode
  • nvim(linux)
  • insomnia
  • Vivaldi browser

Language specific tools

  • poetry(python)
  • yarn (node)
  • nvm(linux)

Linux specific

  • zsh
  • oh my zsh
  • powerlevel10k

This is neatly laid out.

I have to ask. You're not a fan of chrome browser or Firefox?
Also why'd you pick out Vivaldi? (first time hearing it šŸ˜‚)

Ehhh it's just i had to install too many extensions for debugging css then the customizations were not enough for me. Accidentally came across Vivaldi. It's got all the css debugging tools i need, got inbuilt screenshot, note taking, emails tracking, great deal of customizations and on top of that, it comes with a nice tab stacking feature which i really love a lot.

Since Iā€™m working for a windows company now it took me awhile to find the tools that give me similar experiences as Mac. I would also add Powertools, Windows Terminal Preview Edition, WSL2, VSC with Tabnine extension and RemoteSSH
