Whether you use WisprFlow, the OS built in STT engine, or some other alternative, if you're not talking to your computer in 2026 when you can't type 300 wpm (I can't), you're going slow.

#12I use Claude Code for getting things done, Zed for general IDE viewing of long form documents, and I’m also building my own in-terminal IDE-lite called toast (https://github.com/paradise-runner/toast still very early development!!) that id like to be able to replace zed with.

#13VScode + Claude Opus 4.6 on Ubuntu 24. This is the best solution right now IMO, but Zed/Antigravity are also good alternatives.

#14VSCode + Codex app on macOS and Linux.

#15I write code using Sublime Text on a Linux computer, with everything to compile C/C++ programs installed, and obviously the powerful Terminal.
Had to move to Linux because I wanted to make some programs related to network-programming (XDP, libnetfilter_queue), and Linux provides all the tools I need.
I've only used VS Code a few times.
The only thing I lack is a home network setup, to fully test those programs.

I tried Claude code with zed and zed will eat memory like crazy (128GB RAM) after long sessions. I gave up on zed after that happening for a month

#19I've been coding 100% in Emacs for the past 20+ years, and I don't imagine I'll be changing any time soon.
For "AI"? I sometimes paste some code into chatgpt.com and ask for assistance, but I don't have an specific integration setup.
I have LSP setup for python, golang, and some smart configurations for YAML, JSON, etc. I have all my work logs in org-mode.
