My Setup
May 26, 2013
I am doing The Setup interview for myself. It is basically based on these four questions: - Who are you and what do you do?
- What hardware do you use?
- And what software?
- What would be your dream setup? So here it goes: ### Who are you and what do you do? Hello, I am Vinit and work as a software developer at this awesome Dutch startup,[Changer](http://changer. nl). I mostly write code in JavaScript and Python. ### What hardware do you use? I use a MacBook Pro, Mid 2009, with 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD. I use
30-inch BenQ Monitors, apple wired keyboard, Logitech GT400 at work. At home, I have a 22-inch Dell monitor with same keyboard and mouse. I use Steelseries Headphones for listening to Music. For storage and backups, I use a Western Digital 512GB Hard disk. I also have an old Dell laptop with Windows7 and Ubuntu on it. I have a HTC Desire X as my headphone with Android Jelly Bean. I like this phone a lot and it does almost everything I required without burning a hole in my pocket. ### And What Software? I use OS X Mavericks as my primary operating system. Well here is the list of Software I use: For writing code, I only use Macvim. For browsing I use Chrome, firefox, safari and IE (for testing mostly on VM). For running other OSes I use Virtualbox. I love [Dash](http://kapeli. com/dash). They are really awesome way to read documentation of various stacks. For tweeting I use default twitter client on both Mac and Android. I think they are pretty good. For music, iTunes suffices though I do listen to Winamp too. My shell consists of a highly optimised Zsh configuration. For Django related work I use PG Commander to view databases. For time tracking I like toggl(https://www.toggl.com/). ### What would be your dream setup? My dream setup would be couple of Big 30-inch monitors. I would also love a room with library and a nice dark corner to work.
