They focus too much on the mouse for resizing and positioning windows - which is a big disadvantage to me. The 'floating' window management most operating systems come with cause windows to overlap, making it harder to easily see their content. I hate clutter, it makes it difficult for me to keep my focus.

Another cool app I use is Spaceman - an app to view Spaces / Virtual Desktops in the menu bar.

With the menu bar app you can press ⌘+ ^+ K to openĪn agenda view of your next few days and with ⌘+ ^+

Cron is a calendar that has good keyboard shortcuts (VIM based), a command palette and an awesome menu bar app.

SpotMenu - I often ask myself what's the name of the song that's playing, and SpotMenu let's me easily see that.

Just like a carpenter has a high proficiency with his. To become a better developer I'd argue we need to be proficient with our tools. Using the computer should feel easy as we use it for so much of our time. Some repetitive tasks can take a lot of time, and optimizing them can free us up to do more important or fun things. That includes launching an app, writing an email, browsing the internet, writing code, viewing my calendar and joining a Zoom meeting. When I use my computer, I want every day tasks to happen without requiring me to think. Sensory overload occurs when one or more of the body's senses experiences over-stimulation from the environment. Let's look at some of the concrete benefits of a good dev setup: 1. Note that my setup is always evolving as I find better ways to do Hopefully I gave you some motivation to work on your dev setup, but let's look at the more concrete reasoning. Companies that develop things like IDEs (replit, VSCode), or others that write an app launcher (Raycast), Calendar (Cron) or maybe a better tool for work messaging (Slack 😠). Working on a Developer Experience product could be my next passion.Īnd there are many companies that work on tools to help developers and non-developers alike that I might be interested in exploring as future job candidates. I believe that 'optimizing' my setup sparked renewed interest in development for me. Getting to know the vast ecosystem around Developer Experience made me more passionate about the open source community and led me ultimately to even build my own OSS project that helps other developers. Why you should spend time on your dev setup.

Hopefully you can take something from my post, or better - share your setup and tips with me on my twitter.

I also love reading about other people's setups, learn new stuff and take what's relevant to me. I'm constantly working on improving my dev setup as I find little annoyances I want fixed, or small improvements I can make to my workflow.
