🔗Uses
🔮

What I use on a daily basis for software development:

Editor

You guessed it right, it's VSCode! What I love about it is the capability to be simple yet powerful at the same time. I go to Cursor for AI stuff, and Zed for trying something fast and new sometimes.

Terminal

When I'm on Windows, I use bash inside VSCode's integrated terminal for the most part, but I also switch between Hyper and the new Windows Terminal. On a Mac, I prefer the default zsh terminal with oh-my-zsh, and sometimes switch to warp for fancy stuff.

Themes

For my editor, the award goes to One Dark Pro Darker for the most eye-pleasing color pallette.

For the windows terminal, I went for Oh My Posh's stelbent minimal theme. It's a pretty good theme displaying crucial information.

On MacOS' terminal, I prefer the powerlevel10k theme of oh-my-zsh.

Fonts

Personally I love Apple's SF Mono font, so I found a nerd font for windows which is the patched SF Mono font.

JetBrains Mono takes the second place. I was using it for a long time before switching to SF Mono and by far it's the most compact monospace font I have ever used.
