Tools I use for my craft
While in college I used a Huawei Matebook with a Ryzen 5 processor. That was a great computer and never let me down. But the comparison with the M1 chip is night and day.
This monitor increases my workspace so much. I can code side by side, while checking out the output or design of what I'm building immediately, with no need to Alt + Tab.
Thanks to it's easy configuration, and the great ecosystem for plugins VSCode is hands down the best editor ever made. I love particularly that I can change the theme whenever I get bored, sometimes this can be a distraction I have to admit it.
This is just an enhanced Terminal to navigate and control my OS, sometimes I just default to iTerm.
Next is fullstack framework, based on React. I have a custom built template, and most applications can be easily built with it. Astro is really nice as well, allowing for faster pages when content is static (eg. Blog / Docs.)
Vercel is the go to platform for frontend deployment, with a nice integration with GitHub. Fly.io can be used to deploy anything you want, I some times deploy some backend code on Docker containers over there.
Software as a Service databases that I rely on when building projects for my clients. I create all the configuration necessary and connect them to the application, so that clients may safely store data.
