Ty! It's a hard balance to have.

Hmm, just give me the juicy bits already. Stop with all the mumbo jumbo

Sir, you clearly have never watched "naked news". (Not endorsing this BTW). (Also I don't know what naked news is but my friend told me to write it in the comments)

Ty. That is very nice :)

I def agree with you Cygwn Chen! Hands down ThePrimeagen has some real sauce of his sleeve! I'm grateful I discovered him!

Setting up your desktop has very little to do with being a good developer buds

@@omarkarim9298 yes... more to do with... your experience Coffee, mech. Keyboard, multi monitor setup etc... :)

@@omarkarim9298 I think it matters, it builds your philosophy around your work.

hah! That is awesome.

​@@ThePrimeagenthe "enterprise" has infected osx now. I run nvim in a container or run a vm to maintain speed

the primeagen is not safe for work

For those poor souls there is bug.n -- it's not i3, but pretty close. The only downside is that it's written in AutoHotKey.

Stop bragging about how hard you laughed and grow up. Laughing at people for their bad choices doesn't help anyone, it doesn't help you to either. Your laughter required no thinking and no self criticism, if window$ is that bad why don't you offer them a path how to leave it? I guess that would require some effort/thinking from your side. @ThePrimeagen most likely you have thousands of messages and you won’t read this, trying my chances anyway. Prime you are a smart, cheeky and funny dev celebrity full of great advice. Wouldn't it be better to show your clique the nuances of why some people might be stuck with windows instead of validating the laughter. That’s the approach normally have seen in most of the topics you talk about. The same way you wouldn't encourage your kids to laugh at other kids because of the T-shirt color they wear. Here I believe you can do better. Don’t promote childish behavior from your youngsters by pinning their messages where they laugh hard at others based on a specific trait, in this case their OS (willingly or unwillingly chosen). I don’t think the amount of automation shown here is possible in windows, but how many people need that? I believe most devs don’t, not trying to underrate your i3 setup, unless I missed something most of the benefits you showed in the video came from tmux and using a terminal based editor nvim. At any rate, under windows wezterm and nvim can get you far enough, you still have the problem of inefficient window switching to other apps, but while programming how much of that improves your productivity? Wrapping it up, I’m not on the same boat of laughing hard at other’s.

The most bestest.

@@ThePrimeagen starcraft got me into using vim, because i realized keyboard shortcuts are way faster than using a mouse.

It's brilliant, now I can explain my shortcut addiction! I've also played starcraft as a kid lol

@@keithkiminsky2216 yep. What brings me to master from previous plat can bring me to senior in other areas ;)

Yeah!!!!

Tytyty

it's kind of a fugazi. the productivity benefit is minimal - it's just enjoyable to turn your environment into a fun game

Still nothinh compared the the stuff u can achieve on Linux and Mac

@@yonas6832 Yeah that's true, I was just sharing this for anyone else on Windows who might have not known about this

Same on Ubuntu.

🤢🤮

use bug.n as a tile manager on window. It's glorious

Very kind! Thanks so much

@@ThePrimeagen Of course boss! I'm here on the regular now brother keep up the awesome work!

Gotta love brood war

Ty. I think at one point I used karabiner

For a moment I thought you were just making up words

@@gahlahad7312 lmao same. "Alfred" felt like the finisher of the whole joke. Not only because it's the only tool I knew on the list, but also because it was the only normal-sounding program.

Thanks for all the recommendations! Gonna look into these and see if what I can use to improve my workflow.

+1 for this. Yabai (tiling window manager) plus skhd (keyboard shortcuts) have improved my life. I want to recommend Raycast as an alternative to Alfred. Also Contexts let’s you switch windows more easily (as opposed to spaces).

So true. Love the mentality

SC2 is so much fun

Pop Os comes with its own tiling manager, I guess it's a spin of i3.

Dang it, I commented this before you said to do it in the vid.

KittyBTW

What's an alacrity?

@@ThePrimeagen it's something to do with cats. Always gets mentioned when ppl talk about kittys

@@ThePrimeagen Alacritty is a play on "TTY" because it's a terminal app. But it hardw... Ohhhhhhh.

Looks like there's even an open source controller board design to add QMK support to the kinesis, could be a fun video idea perhaps.

Emacs KZfaq plugin when

I struggle with the HJKL directional (arrow) keys because J and K are reversed from what my brain thinks it should be -- grouping the "back" (left and up) and "forward" (down and right). Instead it alternates, not grouping those together.

@@Thirsty_Fox I think I had the same issues to begin with. It just takes a little practice. Maybe 3 weeks ish

yayayayayaya!

ya ya!

That is how I feel

Thanks! I really enjoy it

Yayaya

That is awesome. I had found that most tmux plugins aren't all that useful. It's such an easy interface to use, most the time a few commands gets you a huge distance.

It's my current favorite

hah! Don't put me on a pedestal, for I will disappoint you ;) But! I really love making workflows that are optimized for my brain, so not everything is going to be for you, but I sure hope that you enjoy what I have made here.

@@ThePrimeagen that StarCraft reference 🔥

Tytytytytytyty!!!!

But Windows virtual desktops are very limited..

It doesn't matter! The key here is having a WM like i3 and configuring it to your likes so you're faasst. It will look the same regardless. Just pick one you know you have all the programs you need for your job working and call it a day! After all, the only real difference is the package manager (apt, pacman, dnf...) and if you need more recent updates or you prefer dealing with less upgrading and lowering the risk of something not working suddenly and spending time to solve it

I'm not your bruv, brow

arch users are the vegans of programming

For real though i do love kitty a lot. I eventually found tmux didn't always play nicely with certain tuis that I was using and it took a lot of work for my dumb ass to get it to behave in a way I found comfy. Kitty just kinda worked once I added some vim keybindings. It's luxurious. I love it.

@@jonasgrnbek7113 Why whyyy would you say that? it hurts me deeply T_T

Kitty is bloat !

it's in my dotfile repo, named tmux-sessionizer

ytytyt :)

Yayayaya! Totally agree with this

Yayayayaya

I'm waiting too

Woah now, just a mortal!

That is right!!!!!

I have never played StarCraft, but this is exactly how I describe using vim and tmux, you don't have to think and it's fun and code just appears on the screen

Yeah, it's awesome though that you have a window manager now.

@@ThePrimeagen it absolutely is. Sometimes I wish I could just install dwm though, which I used for a couple of years.

I agree virtual desktops are hella useful, but are you seriously using the magic mouse? I gave that thing a try for a month and it was just the most sad mousing experience I've ever had

I built an APM counter in the neovim.

What do you mean? It is just neovim, xterm (default term) with default font. Tree sitter does the highlights

Ya ya

yes, yabai is pretty awesome, and cmd 1~x switches workspace instantly no transition bs.

I don't understand what half of these words mean

I’m still using skhd and love it. Will move to yabai at some point.

@baggiponte it is on homebrew on the custom tap of the maintainer of yabai brew tap koekeishiya/formulae brew install yabai you should also install skhd to make mappings for yabai

perfect time for the waifu

Yayaya. I really like starcraft.

@@ThePrimeagen BW or SC2? And what race and league :o

I love prime's workflow so much that I replicated it in macOS and created a youtube tutorial. I setup karabiner to use hotkeys to switch between apps, yabai as the window manager in stack mode to have a single app on the front (I even enabled transparency in some apps), tmux and some other CLI tools. In case you find it useful, here's the playlist kzfaq.info/sun/PLZWMav2s1MZTanWwNKYvS8qgwl0HBH9J-&si=qilCvztAW_oIkg2I

you can also have letter switching, most people just don't cause they map those to other things

Well I do drink yerba! But I get what you're saying. For me I do enjoy learning how all these pieces fit together. So that doesn't bother me. Would really irks me is when I have to search through my windows to find the right browser. Or anything that requires me to search and look for stuff. That's why I love good window manager. Same with tmux, I love just being able to navigate exactly where I want.

@@ThePrimeagen Totally fair. I strive to KISS ;) a lot at work, but I can see the appeal of having everything one keybind away.

It's slow as molasses tho. Takes like a full second *after* the animations finish for the active window to switch

I keep things simple ;)

Ya ya ya!!!

So much magic
