My Coding Setup for 2022

It's that time again. My annual coding setup for 2022 is here. In previous years I've outlined a similar set of tools, software, and extensions since I get asked about this a lot. I hope the list highlights some new tools you have never tried or found interesting!

The list is below. Let me know if I should be using something that you can't live without in the comments!

I linked to previous years' setups at the bottom of this post. Check those out too!

  • Vite - I’ll commonly use this for basic stuff even though it’s capable of so much more.
