These guys are doing it right, Panic knows what’s up. I’ve used them all, Transmit takes the throne. Dreamweaver is way too laggy, sublime isn’t too bad but Coda has a better interface and it’s insanely fast. I used open source VirtualBox for 1.5 years, but making that small purchase for Parallels meant greater support and better drivers.Ĭode editor = Coda by Panic. My favorite development environment software ![]() You want your monitors reasonably distant and aligned with your eyes. The shorter length one limits monitors and the lengthier one (73″) cuts too much depth. There are a few different sizes for this one, but GO FOR THE 50×29″ top - trust me you’ll thank me later. It’s the Ikea Linnmon table top with “whatever legs you desire”. I just bought my second round of this exact setup. WorkPro Commercial Mesh Executive Chair, Grey via Amazon The experiment was a success, and now we have two of these bad boys. The first version (the black one in the photo) I bought was an experiment, I didn’t have any desire to expense a $1,000 herman miller chair when I began MKN Web Solutions. I just bought my second version of this chair (as seen in the photo above). Get the right chair, you’re going to be sitting on it 6-12 hours / day I’ve been on the same bulb for almost two year snow. OttLite T59BNR Vero Table Lamp in Brushed Nickel via Amazon (as seen in photo above) I’ve spent a few years going through numerous lamps – then “I saw the light”. This is a big one for me, you need good lighting in your environment. Get rid of or disable anything but your coding editor / applications! When you’re “in the zone”, there’s no time for being thrown off. I refuse to enable the dropbox app because it will require active packets and memory - this goes for all “other” apps running that doesn’t have to do with your active project. When you’re developing, testing, and optimizing sofware, you can’t have hiccups at the system level. Regardless of power, I’m extremely picky with what inits at boot or runs in the background. I don’t think I’ve ever completely consumed the full memory (even running multiple VMs within Parallels). My primary machine (at the moment) is a MacBook Pro Retina - 2.3 ghz i7, 16 GB memory, NVIDIA GeForce GT650M gpu. Code isn’t wide, it’s tall, some folks utilize their monitors at the vertical view, but at the 27″ level it becomes too tall, I digress.Īnyone that knows me knows that I have a zero tolerance policy for “extra” applications running, regardless of device. I found that keeping the dock on the left side allows greater vertical height for your code editor software. I’ve kept the dock on the bottom for a year, then on the left for a year, etc. This one I’ve been experimenting with for quite some time. Open terminal and enter the command below: ![]() Next thing you’ll want to do is reduce the animation time on Mission Control, it’s a little too long for our “need for speed”. Set “Mission control” (should be the first on the list) to F3 and and “Show Desktop” to F4 - I find myself using F3 and F4 constantly now when I have a barrage of windows open. This will allow you to slide spaces at the tip of your left hand. Find “Move left a space” and hit F1, then “Move right a space” F2. You don’t need the brightness as a shortcut key… Then within the Keyboard settings goto “Shortcuts” and jump to Mission Control in the apps list. When coding, this becomes a hassle, especially when you’re in the middle of a line of code. By default, to switch between desktops you need to hold control + left or right to init or two finger slide on touchpad / magic mouse. I run a 3x 27″ monitor setup, within each monitor I keep 2-3 spaces (desktops). I find myself using Window spaces + Mission Control constantly. 5 years later (now 2015), I’ve got everything down to a T for my daily routines –Īssuming you’re on Mac OS X Yosemite or later. And boy was it worth it, I wish I had made the switch earlier. When I switched to linux / unix / mac os back in 2011 (from being a diehard windows XP user) I had to change my daily routines, tricks and commands. mongodb, google chrome, facebook, etc OH and of course lingering on reddit’s photoshop-battles forum (where I was able to claim 2 million hits on my photoshop’s within 48 hours!). This is where I spend most of my days: developing new software making and breaking hardware via linux initiating 100+ EC2 VPCs on the fly for testing inventing new / optimizing / cracking algorithms spending countless hours on UX to determine what’s the best color for a button for higher conversion rates finding security leaks in mobile apps contributing to open source software, i.e.
