Uses

Curious about my setup? The software I use daily? Here's a list where you can check that.

To avoid the feeling of "always working" or "always doing my stuff", I like to have a different environment for both personal and work-related moments. This helps me a lot with unconsciously know what moment of my day I'm.

Although, there are a bunch of things I use in both environments. Here they are:

Software

  • Google Chrome;
  • VSCode;
  • OBS Studio - To record screen, mic, and sometimes my webcam;
  • Figma - to create designs;
  • Notion - to keep notes, write drafts and organize myself;
  • 1Password - password manager;
  • VLC - to watch any kind of video;

VSCode Setup

For VSCode, I used to have a different setup for work and home but since MS had implemented an built-in account settings sync, I'd rather keep using the same extensions and plugins everywhere.

Font

  • Fira Code - open-source code font with ligatures which makes easier to read code;

Plugins

To make it easier highlight some plugins that are a must in my opinion, I add then a suffix star (⭐).
