I find new equipment always a pain to get it up and running the way I like it. It does clean up stuff though šŸ˜›
k
I've always tried to stay as close to all the defaults as possible, for that exact reason! Although I'm sure I've forgotten something somewhere and will make a mess of it when I need it, as I then default to pressing buttons until something works
Got my gitkraken, vscode and visual studio. It'll be alright
s
Sadly the default on Windows these days is bloat and spyware šŸ˜‚
k
Corpo PC - they've done the prunning already, and I suspect, would be miffed, if I mess too much with that part
s
Yea, been there šŸ‘€
l
We actually have documentation (!) on what software you need šŸ˜›
k
šŸ˜®
s
Lies
Who has docs
l
And chocolaty scripts..... šŸ˜® Which I personally don't trust, but that's another story šŸ˜„
k
So, what am I missing? šŸ˜„
s
Nothing beats a fresh PC and spending the whole day configuring it just right šŸ¤© Yes, I'm a geek, thanks! šŸ˜‰
Windows PowerToys so you can use PowerToys Run!
l
My default tools that I use: * Edge/Firefox/Chrome (for testing, usually chrome for development) * Visual Studio * Visual Studio Code * Outlook * Paint.net * Postman * Umbraco forum šŸ˜› * Teams * Discord * Sql Server management studio
s
7-zip
Was the one I always forgot about
s
> - Outlook > - Teams šŸ˜± (I know, you can't avoid it but still
l
True, but I must say that with 7-zip support in Windows build in, I don't use it as much
s
Bruno instead of Postman! šŸ™Œ
l
Hehe, we have a subscription with shared stuffs, so I need it šŸ˜‰
s
It's ugly but just faster and better in every way šŸ˜
l
Ah it's not that bad for some chatting šŸ˜›
s
- Notepad++ - Volta (for npm version switching, way better than NVM) - ScreenToGif
l
Hmm I never heard of Volta, but I do use NVM a lot. Why is Volta better?
s
but mostly I just like the syntax and CLI experience better
s
Think of any tool and someone has written a newer faster Rust alternative šŸ˜‚
l
I must say that vite/lit development in Visual Studio for Umbraco works better than I expected. Except for html syntax highlighting in the Lit html, it works actually pretty well with the Npm task runner plugin. I thought I would use Visual Studio code much more for that
But I like it that I can easily do my C# work and lit work in the same IDE
s
I have not used VS for a while but Rider does a great job as well, including code highlighting šŸ˜‡ (I know not everyone can use Rider). Seems like this plugin for VS will help though: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=runem.lit-plugin
oh it's for VSCode nevermind šŸ˜…
l
Yeah I've seen that one. There is a plugin that sort of helps in Visual Studio with code completion, but not with highlighting
For now we have partnership subscriptions for Visual Studio, so it makes sense. But we're looking into rider because that partnership is probably going to end. In fact, I can't find any article or blog that says: don't go for rider and use Visual Studio, it's usually the other way around šŸ˜›
s
I've been a big Rider fan, after hating it for many years. Funny how that goes.
s
Been VS Code for some time now, even for C#. Until I was asked to work on a .NET Framework project not too long ago šŸ˜­
I'm quite enjoying the Lit development experience. Still not a massive fan of HTML/CSS-in-JS, but it works quite well.
m
Noone's mentioned spending 3hrs on getting your terminal just right šŸ˜„
s
I did leave out Oh My Posh on purpose haha šŸ˜…
l
Me neither. I tend to create files that are too big and should split some things into smaller components, but usually that's too much effort šŸ˜›
