Computer
I'm using macOS for close to 7 years now. An Intel version for work and an M1 chip version for personal use. The M1 MacBook pro is absolutely a beast. Battery life is great, performance is top-notch. 4k 10mins video export takes only 5 mins in iMovie, where it took 30m in intel MacBook pro.
Coding
Terminal
- Iterm 2 as default terminal app.
- Iterm 2 Profile file, just import and start using this.
- Oh My Zsh for default shell.
- Customized verion of dracula theme for the iterm app.
Code Editor
- Visual Studio Code from Microsoft, is an open source software.

Run the below command in your terminal app to get all the list of extensions in your visual studio code editor.
