Tools

Inevitably someone will ask me about my ‘coding setup.’ For development, I typically use Visual Studio Code with the Remote Development Extension. This setup allows me to work fairly seamlessly on any machine I can ssh into. This means I don’t have to fiddle with sshfs or similar to get things working.

Before VSCode, I used Sublime Text for nearly 8 years.

My favorite debugging tool is ipdb.
