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):

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.
