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.
