My Development Setup

This blog post includes everything that I use to develop software and run my company.

This passage will be updated as needed. In 2022, I made the switch to Apple’s Echo system; this was the most meaningful change of my life so far. Though it meant running a Unix operating system for development purposes – including building all the best apps possible – this has been a very welcome change from what Windows offered.
