IDE

Back-end Development

• Use tmux

• Use vim8 …or whatever

• See this for some justifications for this approach

Version control a collection of dotfiles to easily configure common tools on a new machine similar to this repo:

git clone devenv
cd devenv
./install-dotfiles.sh
sudo ./install-packages.sh # if you have sudo access to the environment

Front-end Development

• Use WebStorm

• Setup Vim Emulation

• Use create-react-app through WebStorm to pre-configure linting, testing, Hot Module Replacement, etc.

• Install the React Developer Tools browser extension

• Install the Redux DevTools browser extension
