Dotfiles
What I actually reach for, day to day. No dotfiles repo to link yet — just the honest stack.
Shell
- bash — no fancy prompt framework, just bash.
Terminal
- iTerm2 on macOS.
Editor
- vim for anything on a remote box — fast edits, config files, no excuses.
- VS Code for actual project work — multi-file editing, extensions, the works.
OS
- macOS as the daily driver.
- Ubuntu on the servers I actually manage.
CLI toolbox
- tmux — sessions that survive a dropped SSH connection are non-negotiable.
- jq — because half of DevOps is just reshaping JSON until it behaves.
Nothing exotic. Boring tools, used a lot, is basically the whole philosophy of this blog.
