What technologies and tools I use day to day for coding

Uses

I like to change things a lot and as a result, this page will probably be inaccurate at the time of you reading this. But here is what I'm using:

Editor & Terminal

- [Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/) is the editor of choice for any language I program in for just about everything.

- [Cobalt2](https://github.com/wesbos/cobalt2-vscode) from the amazing [Wes Bos](https://wesbos.com) for my VS Code theme.

- For a font, I use [Fira Code](https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode) with ligatures enabled. Ligatures are amazing.

- [Hyper Terminal](https://hyper.is/), [ZSH Shell](http://zsh.sourceforge.net/), and [Oh My Zsh](https://ohmyz.sh/) to handle all my CLI stuff.

Desktop Apps

- Browser of choice still is [Google Chrome](https://www.google.com/chrome/) and occasionally [Firefox Dev](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/).

- [Discord](https://discordapp.com/) and [Slack](https://slack.com/) are the primary chat applications I use to interact with different communities.

- For notetaking and to-do lists I use [Trello](https://trello.com/), I really love the Kanban board style of it.

- [BackBlaze](https://www.backblaze.com/index-dd.html) provides offsite backups to my entire PC just in case.

- Adobe Lightroom for photo editing, and Adobe Premiere Pro for video editing.

Browser Extensions

- [1password](https://1password.com/) for password management because we shouldn't be doing that manually anymore.

- Biggest one for me is [Grammarly](https://www.grammarly.com/) because somehow at the age of 30 I still can't spell many things correctly!

- [React Developer Tools](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/react-developer-tools/fmkadmapgofadopljbjfkapdkoienihi?hl=en) this seems pretty explanatory

- [aXe accessibility tools](https://www.deque.com/axe/) to test a11y of my sites

Hosting

- Hosting for everything I have is done on [Linode](https://linode.com) because its cheap and reliable

- Image support provided by [Cloudinary](https://cloudinary.com)

- CDN and DNS for my websites comes from [Cloudflare](https://cloudflare.com)

- All websites use [Namecheap](https://namecheap.com) for their registration

Workspace

- 2020 13" Macbook Pro with 8GB of RAM

- Anker MBP Hub

- BenQ EW3270U 32" 4K HDR monitor

- [Keychron k8](https://www.keychron.com/products/keychron-k8-tenkeyless-wireless-mechanical-keyboard) mechanical keyboard with cherry blue switches. I'm not happy with the product though...

- [Logitech G502](https://www.logitechg.com/en-us/products/gaming-mice/g502-hero-gaming-mouse.910-005469.html) mouse

- [Ifi Zen DAC](https://ifi-audio.com/products/zen-dac/) for when using headphones for listening. [Audeze LCD-X](https://www.audeze.com/products/lcd-x) are my usual cans of choice in my office, although I have a pair of [Drop + HiFiman HE4xx](https://drop.com/buy/drop-hifiman-he4xx-planar-magnetic-headphones) that I also use occasionally.

- When I want to use my speakers I've got a [Fiio K5 Pro](https://www.fiio.com/k5pro) that I then use with my [M-Audio BX4](https://www.m-audio.com/bx4), although there are plans to replace those monitors in the near future...

- Yeti mic - what more need said LOL

- cheapo amazon basics USB switch to switch from PC to PC

Gaming Rig

- Asus X570 ProArt creator Wifi

- G-skill TridentZ RGB 32gb x2 DDR4 3600 RAM

- Samsung 980 Pro 1TB

- Samsung 970 evo+ 1TB
