My daily driver. I've tried switching to Rider twice and crawled back both times.
Running the One Dark Pro theme because I have taste.
I never changed it. It came with VS Code, it renders code, and that's enough for me. Life's too short to have opinions about monospace fonts.
PowerShell with Oh My Posh for the prompt. It's not a Mac terminal but at least it has tabs now.
CLI for commits, VS Code's built-in diff viewer for everything else.
I have never once successfully used git rebase -i on the first try.
Backend, mobile, desktop, CLI tools — if it compiles, I'm using .NET for it. LINQ is the closest thing I have to a religion.
C# on the frontend. No JavaScript context-switching, no npm existential crises. Just components, bindings, and the warm embrace of strongly-typed everything.
Functions, App Service, Blob Storage. My free credits ran out a long time ago and I'm still not over it.
Entity Framework Core with code-first migrations. I've only dropped a production table once. That I know of.
Currently in the "it works in my container" phase. Slowly replacing "it works on my machine" with something marginally more professional.
API testing, collections, environments. I have a collection called "please work" with 47 requests in it.
Yes, I know it eats RAM for breakfast. But the DevTools are unmatched and at this point my 200 open tabs are load-bearing — I can't switch.
Local-first, graph-based, markdown-powered. My second brain that's slowly becoming smarter than the first one. All my notes live here now.
Focus playlist: a chaotic mix of classic music and microwave sounds. The Discover Weekly knows me better than my friends do.
For the rare occasions when I design before I code. Mostly used for stealing color palettes and convincing myself I'm a designer.
The machine that runs Visual Studio, Docker, Spotify, Slack, and approximately 200 Chrome tabs without complaining. Much.
Nothing fancy, just a reliable wireless mouse. I don't need RGB lighting to right-click.
Noise-cancelling. Essential for blocking out open-office chaos and pretending to be in deep focus when I'm actually on Reddit.
One extra screen dedicated entirely to Stack Overflow and API documentation. The laptop screen is for "actual work."
Rubber duck debugger. Sits on the desk, judges silently, and somehow resolves 80% of my bugs through sheer passive-aggressive quacking energy.
