Umbraco

I find new equipment always a pain to get it up and running the way I like it. It does clean up stuff though 😛

I've always tried to stay as close to all the defaults as possible, for that exact reason! Although I'm sure I've forgotten something somewhere and will make a mess of it when I need it, as I then default to pressing buttons until something works

Got my gitkraken, vscode and visual studio. It'll be alright

Sadly the default on Windows these days is bloat and spyware 😂

Corpo PC - they've done the prunning already, and I suspect, would be miffed, if I mess too much with that part

We actually have documentation (!) on what software you need 😛

And chocolaty scripts..... 😮 Which I personally don't trust, but that's another story 😄

Nothing beats a fresh PC and spending the whole day configuring it just right 🤩  

Yes, I'm a geek, thanks! 😉

Windows PowerToys so you can use PowerToys Run!

My default tools that I use:
* Edge/Firefox/Chrome (for testing, usually chrome for development)
* Visual Studio
* Visual Studio Code
* Outlook
* Paint.net
* Postman
* Umbraco forum 😛
* Teams
* Discord
* Sql Server management studio

😱  (I know, you can't avoid it but still

True, but I must say that with 7-zip support in Windows build in, I don't use it as much

Hehe, we have a subscription with shared stuffs, so I need it 😉

It's ugly but just faster and better in every way 😁

Ah it's not that bad for some chatting 😛

- Notepad++ 
- Volta (for npm version switching, way better than NVM)
- ScreenToGif

Hmm I never heard of Volta, but I do use NVM a lot. Why is Volta better?

https://dev.to/pierre/switch-from-nvm-to-volta-384a 😁

but mostly I just like the syntax and CLI experience better

Think of any tool and someone has written a  newer faster Rust alternative 😂

I must say that vite/lit development in Visual Studio for Umbraco works better than I expected. Except for html syntax highlighting in the Lit html, it works actually pretty well with the Npm task runner plugin. I thought I would use Visual Studio code much more for that

But I like it that I can easily do my C# work and lit work in the same IDE

I have not used VS for a while but Rider does a great job as well, including code highlighting 😇 (I know not everyone can use Rider). 

Seems like this plugin for VS will help though: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=runem.lit-plugin

Yeah I've seen that one. There is a plugin that sort of helps in Visual Studio with code completion, but not with highlighting

For now we have partnership subscriptions for Visual Studio, so it makes sense. But we're looking into rider because that partnership is probably going to end. In fact, I can't find any article or blog that says: don't go for rider and use Visual Studio, it's usually the other way around 😛

I've been a big Rider fan, after hating it for many years. Funny how that goes.

Been VS Code for some time now, even for C#. Until I was asked to work on a .NET Framework project not too long ago 😭

I'm quite enjoying the Lit development experience. Still not a massive fan of HTML/CSS-in-JS, but it works quite well.

Noone's mentioned spending 3hrs on getting your terminal just right 😄

I did leave out Oh My Posh on purpose haha 😅

Me neither. I tend to create files that are too big and should split some things into smaller components, but usually that's too much effort 😛

I find new equipment always a pain to

Nice that it gives a warning when you try to post the same link

Ooh I didn't realize that would be detected, that's super cool!

Nice that it gives a warning when you

Obsidian Package now submitted for review 😄

ye, looks like another nice week of weather

Today I am officially feeling old, a tune popped up on my facebook feed, a fave from my raving days. 30 years ago!!! 😂

Damn - nice! This has all the vibes of Josh Wink - Higher state of consciousness, or 303 state. Good times 🙂

Great tune <@1060526283995480174> I only remember it vaguely. 
And wow, Josh Wink, I do remember clearly!

Higher state of consciousness was only slightly less annoying than Poing of course.. lol
