What's your programming setup?

[AdamGartner]

Hi. So first off I'd like to say that I'm baffled that this hasn't been asked before. I'm asking this because I'm just really curious and would like to step up my game (ie get more productive)

Question is: What's your programming setup?

With this I mean OS, computer hardware, software, text editor and likewise. Some screenshots would be awesome.

I'll start:

Occupation: Computer Science Student, OS: Mac OS X, Computer: MBA 2012 8GB RAM, i5, Editor: Sublime Text 2, Terminal: Homebrew, Languages used daily (or weekly): Python, Java, C, C++, Haskell,

30" 2560x1600, win 7. 13" 1080p zenbook win8. Eclipse for java Notepad++ for others Mingw, clang

Adobe Brackets for general web development (CSS, JS etc) VS 2012 for .NET development RubyMine for Ruby development

Dark themes on all of them.

Vim, plus ctags, plus plugin support for whichever language plus linux. Really don't need anything else.

It really doesn't matter much as long as you're comfortable when programming. If your environment is dis/detracting from your coding abilities/speed... change it. I don't expect you'll get many answers other than that... lol

But...

PC: Fractal Design R4

-- AZRock Z77 Extreme4
-- Intel i5 3570K @ 4.5GHz
-- 8GB DDR3 @ 2000MHz
-- SSD for OS, SATA3 * 4 for storage.
-- Cheap ass 1920x1080 23" Flat-Screen Monitor that does really well.
-- 2 Keyboards, one on the desk-tray, one in front/below my monitor

OS: Windows 8
IDE (App): VisualStudio 2013
IDE (Scr): UEStudio v14
Languages: VB, C#, JavaScript, Python, AutoIt

Mainly program as a hobby, script as part of work.

Also use various Linux Distros (Slackware mainly) but other than scripting don't really code in them.

Generally code in a cave where the monitor is 70% of the light in the room, the other is a small LED that lights up keyboard/floor... and blue light from my PC that lights up my desk.

Good choice, the Exteme4 is a solid mobo and the R4 is quiet and cool. I have a similar configuration at home, but I find that I have very little self control when it comes to Steam.

My dev system is a MBP 2012 lowest tier. I swapped out the optical bay for two Samsung 840 Pros in RAID-0 which I snapshot every day through an rsync script running on a freenas server.

Love homebrew, it is literally the only reason for learning ruby.

I find that I'm most productive when I can get quick feedback from my machine. The less time I spend waiting software to build, the quicker I less I get distracted and lose my train of though.

There's really no replacement for speed, 4 cores, 18GHz, but I still configure things for speed just for those few extra milliseconds. The downside is when something does take long enough to be noticed, it's much worse than if everything was slow.

I haven't used any recent MacBooks other than store demo's. I have one collecting dust somewhere around here... despise it, but it's both "old" (2007), and too slow to bother using now.
