Softwares

Editor

VS Code

I am using VS Code as my main editor as I’m a Frontend developer, but I love the comfort of IntelliJ for Java and PhpStorm for PHP if I need to work using these languages.

I sometimes open Vim for some quick changes in the terminal.

Here is a quick listing of the extensions I installed on my VS Code (minus the ones specific to languages):

Better Comments aaron-bond.better-comments
Color Highlight naumovs.color-highlight
Dependi fill-labs.dependi
Error Lens usernamehw.errorlens
GitHub Actions github.vscode-github-actions
GitHub Pull Request GitHub.vscode-pull-request-github
GitLens eamodio.gitlens
Peacock johnpapa.vscode-peacock
Prettier esbenp.prettier-vscode
Todo Tree Gruntfuggly.todo-tree
Total TypeScript mattpocock.ts-error-translator
Twoslash Query Comments Orta.vscode-twoslash-queries

As a theme for VS Code, I use GitHub Dark Default which is a revamped and darker version of the previous GitHub Dark. In light mode, I use Atom One Light. The mode changes based on the day time.

As a font, I use Monaspace Neon from GitHub. I have used JetBrains Mono, Cascadia Code and Fira Code in the past.

Terminal

Warp is my terminal of choice and iTerm2 is my fallback. As a Shell, I’m using Fish and the prompt is powered by Starship.

Browser

Firefox is my main browser for personnal usage, and Arc is the one I use professionally.
