mapped my workspace so I can work directly within the chrome debugger. not the most petty way but it's darn effective since all objects and data are laid before my eyes and can be inspected and manipulated without braking context

I’d love to read a blog post about this. I often pause the chrome debugger and keep it open in a window next to my editor (VS Code, for those counting).

this is the gist of chrome configuration https://developers.google.com/web/tools/setup/setup-workflow

but the rest depends on your backend because you need the server to hot reload changes from the filesystem

Google Docs, because, according to the Google interview process, that makes some sort of sense.

There is nothing like writing code in a word processor.

I did this recently and it kept autocapitalizing/correcting things, and I kept wasting time reflexively changing them. There's probably a code syntax option buried somewhere in there but heck if I know where it is.

I use Vscode because of the decent ecosystem and debugging support. It’s certainly slower than a native editor, notepad++ for example but I can forgive the little pause here and there for the benefits it brings.

IntelliJ ultimate for TypeScript. Have tried vscode but it was slow on Windows for monorepos; haven't tried vscode on mac for this same project yet
