Ask HN: What is your development setup?

2 points by dlivingston ↗ HN
What OS do you prefer? What toolchains, text editors/IDEs, and shell applications do you use? Is there a specific piece of your setup that has changed the way you work?

Ubuntu LTS - what we deploy prod to, big monitor, happy hacker lite 2 keyboard, gigabyte brix desktop.

Macbook Air for meetings, presentos, and remote hacking.

vim / tmux

I prefer macOS, but I’m ok with several Linux distros and wouldn’t mind using them.

I was a vscode power user, but I picked up Vim earlier this year and can’t stand GUI editors anymore. That’s been a big change to the way I work.

Shell applications...I use a lot but the one that comes to mind right now is jq. It makes parsing json responses from cURL easy, and prettifies the output.
