Linux

I do game dev, and I've been loving VSCode. I used to use a mishmash of stuff, but VSCode can do kinda everything. Working on retro-dev C/asm for NES or Genesis? Lua projects? Shaders? Debugging a native Linux/SDL game? Doing some math in a Julia notebook? Unity3D development? Working on Windows/Mac? The answer is VSCode to all! I still use vim for some light stuff or working on remote machines, but meh... VSCode has nice defaults for me without having to fiddle.

For my native Linux gamedev, I've just been using the MS Cmake and Cpp-tools extensions. They work great, and you can script up the rest with actions. The debugger isn't great, but it's convenient and good enough for simple crashes. I switch to GDB when things get interesting though. I suppose I have an extension for shaders too, but it's just syntax highlighting.

I use vis to write code, ^Z and make/mk to build the project. Most of the debugging is done with valgrind and eventually gdb though my use is very limited.

When I work on manpages, I use wendy to automatically preview manpages everytime the source file changes.

For python:

• Pycharm with integrated git For web dev and game dev:
• vscode with GitHub desktop or integrated git, XAMPP if I'm doing back end

I tend to prefer Jetbrains editors (CLion, Rider, WebStorm) for projects, and just nano/micro for config editing and such...

Xfce spin Fedora using VS Code with CSharp dotnet omnisharp, sometime vim with coc nvim and omnisharp vim.

PHP intelephense, podman, kvm/qemu, some el clone or rhel cloud image, and windows server 2019 vhd to qcow2.

Other than that, firefox for frontend web debug.. For desktop dev, avalonia UI. Other than that, none.

Neovim (with NvChad or the like) + tmux is great, once you figure out the keybinds. Probably not so great for debugging, though. VSCode is a good all-rounder.

I code in C/C++. Work laptop is windows, but the products run on various Linux and Unix flavors, as well as in Windows. So I use Clion on win, that syncs the code changes to a Linux VM for building and testing. The toolchain is in a docker image, so I can change the build and test environments without affecting each other. Since I need to test on different OSs, I have multiple VMs in a server at the office.

I'm currently running Fedora Kinoite, via the Universal Blue kinoite-nvidia image.

A lot of the stuff I personally develop is done in Java/Kotlin, so for those projects I use IntelliJ (via the JetBrains "All Products Pack") to work. For everything else such as Rust which I've been slowly trying to get into, or PHP which I sometimes write for work I tend to use Neovim because its simple enough. I suspect as I start to build bigger projects in Rust I'll start using it through IntelliJ or CLion to have access to a nice debugging environment, but so far the little bit of debugging that I've needed can be done through rust-gdb.

Its a nice simple workflow, and Fedora already has podman installed for when I'm utilizing Docker as well which is nice.

I use GVim for coding and text editing in general.

Programming wise, CLI tools (grep, sed, awk, sort, head, etc) are enough for most of my tasks. I've written a few Python TUI projects (uses Textual framework) but these are around 300-400 lines, so Vim is more than enough for my purposes. Don't even need any plugins.

Using VSCode with NeoVim plugin (allows Vim commands in VSC). Code JavaScript locally, deploy using GitHub and Docker/k8s.

Hi! web dev here. It's time to change your setup ever so slightly with VSCodium, and electerm too optionally: https://vscodium.com/ https://github.com/electerm/electerm

I usually install all my setups in PopOS or a server I'm developing on: https://github.com/gnubyte/debian-setup/blob/master/setup.sh

Then install Insomnia.rest, VSCodium, and finally electerm.

Basically I'll program in nodeJS, BunJS, or python.

Then I'll ask chatGPT via Rubberduck (link below) to generate a docker and docker compose live mount for my dependencies of my frontend and backends. Then I begin to iterate over my work.

My latest flow is basically to start with chatGPT, write a four paragraph description of what I want, have it save me about five hours of boiler plate nonsense, and then disconnect from chatGPT to do the advance stuff like handle security, data structure relationships, etc. Sometimes I go back to chatGPT for how an algorithm should be implemented for efficiency inside a short snippet, then apply it again to my code. There was some great bloom filter work it was able to help me with.

Other stuff I've been trying is like podman and I'm interested lately in Jenkins to do builds since I realized I have too many projects that build and work a particular way, I can't Shepard them all by hand. With that will likely come unit testing, both hopefully assisted by AI to cut down on time. I'd like to reinvest that time on hankerrank and frontend masters to start transitioning to something like rust.

Mainly C++ with a sprinkling of Python and Rust for fun.

Used to code KDevelop, now VSCode. Build in a regular terminal (I prefer Meson over Cmake, both end up producing Ninja files.) Debug with valgrind, gdb and ddd. Push to Gitlab for my personal projects.

I use Docker for my test environments as it's easy to bring them up and restore them to mint condition, and it ensures that the longer running tests with side effects don't interfere with one another.

Yakuake with oh my zsh some plugins and themes and vscode (trying to switch to lapce) in Rust with cargo on Fedora

I usually hack stuff together with vim and tmux (I know, it's redundant but Ctrl b is just a reflex at this point) when on a remote machine, but I use vscode at work and recently discovered the remote mode for Linux development... It's pretty awesome, like not anything you can't set up with vim or emacs, but it's seamless remote development if you already like to use vscode

I do DevSecOps/SysAdmin type stuff mostly so vscode with devcontainers being pushed into gitlab-ci for checks and deployments (Ansible, terraform, k8s manifests, helm charts, docker files and occasionally back to my roots with sh and python scripts as needed).

Sometimes though I just toolbox my devcontainers and work client out of there and vim, when I'm just trying stuff out.
