Ask HN: What is your development setup?

Post by geekam » Sun, Feb 16, 2014, 3:41 PM UTC

I was wondering what do folks use here these days. I am interested in knowing almost everything (from desks, chairs to software) that you use for building your products and achieving your goals. That is, your entire setup.

Also, if you could change one thing, what might that be?

Examples of some areas of input -

* PC/Laptop specs * OS * Major languages * Source version control * Editor(s) (with Plugins) * Servers, if any etc.

Refurbished 8Gb i7 Dell, Ubuntu, PHP, git, vim. AWS

If I could change one thing I would probably move to an IDE that does everything for you, however that is a toolset to learn and pay for.
