Ask HN: Your perfect coding/work machine setup?

3 points·andreipop··5 comments

I am getting a new iMac that I want to dedicate only to my dev and design work. The goal is efficiency and speed. I work mostly in PHP (WordPress) (starting RoR) and do most of the front end dev work (jQuery, CSS, etc).

So far I have:

MAMP TextMate Transmit ...

What is your ideal coding setup, why, and what will make it run super fast?

Vim, Oh My Zsh, Janus (Vim plugin set), TotalTerminal, ExpanDrive.

I made the switch from TextMate to Vim a couple months ago. The learning curve can be steep, but I'd consider myself noticeably more productive.

Try to put in SSD in it if you can.

MTMJ, emacs, lots o' memory

Aptana + Firebug + Firefox

Will have SSD
