There were many choices 4 years ago, like VS Code, Atom or Sublime Text, but as of today, VS Code has been my go-to editor for almost everything, it's incredibly fast and versatile, almost making me forget that it's Electron-based! Safari is extremely fast now, actually a lot faster than Chromium-based browsers according to Speedometer score, so it is naturally my first choice for general web browsing, however I don't really enjoy the experience of Safari devtools, and Chrome devtools is arguably the best developer tool for web developers, that's why I also use the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge to develop web apps, it also feels a bit faster than Google Chrome, and there has been some controversy over how Chrome can slow down your Mac recently.

Break the wallĪs someone living in China, the first thing I do after receiving a new Mac, is to install a VPN app to access the actual internet. So I've recently got a new M1-chip Mac mini, thanks to the generous $1000 donation from Storyblok, they've been contributing a lot to the open-source community as well, definitely check them out if you need a new headless CMS, it's free for single-developer projects.
