- Hosting: Digital Ocean with Dokku (web applications) and server blocks (static website) [1]

- Application Development: React, React Router, Apollo, GraphQL, Express, PostgreSQL [2]

- GNU/LINUX

- No heavy desktop environments

- Getting rid of using mouse, try to be fully compliant of using just keyboard.

- Use a tiling window manager {i3, awesome, bspwm, etc}. YMMV on which wm fits your needs best.

- Use vim-vixen on firefox or qutebrowser for vim bindings

- EMACS + EVIL Mode or Vim

- There are a bunch of Terminal Emulators.. I use terminator, but you could get away with something minimal like RXVT, URXVT, or ST.

Home office. Plenty of space, some nice bookshelves, view across open fields when I want to test my eyes, and quiet . (Also a nice big monitor, and a “standing desk” built out of scrap but nice and solid). This makes far more difference than the exact tools I’m using on a given project.

Sounds like paradise! I wish I had a setup like that. :/

Sadly, don’t get to spend all my working hours in that environment. It’s where I get a disproportionate amount of the actual work done, though!

>> EMACS + EVIL

Spacemacs is a very viable alternative.
