My Development Setup: Tools and Configurations

After 5 years of constantly tweaking my development environment, I've finally reached a setup that I haven't changed in 8 months. That's a record for me. This configuration saves me roughly 2 hours per day and has measurably increased my productivity by 40%.

The secret isn't having the most tools—it's having the right tools configured perfectly for your workflow. Today, I'll share my complete setup, including the exact configurations, automations, and lesser-known tools that transformed how I work.

The Hardware Foundation

Before diving into software, here's the hardware that powers everything:

# hardware-specs.yml
primary_machine:
  model: "MacBook Pro 16-inch (2024)"
  chip: "M4 Pro"
  memory: "32GB"
  storage: "1TB SSD"
  reasoning: "M4 handles Docker, multiple IDEs, and large builds without throttling"
 
peripherals:
  monitor: "LG 32UL950-W 32-inch 4K"
  keyboard: "Keychron K8 (hot-swappable switches)"
  mouse: "Logitech MX Master 3S"
  headphones: "Sony WH-1000XM5"
  
workspace:
  desk: "Standing desk (Jarvis Bamboo 72x30)"
  lighting: "BenQ ScreenBar Halo"
  organization: "Cable management tray + wireless charging pad"

The 32GB RAM was crucial for my workflow. I regularly run:

5-10 Docker containers
Multiple VS Code instances
Chrome with 50+ tabs
Terminal with 20+ sessions
Design tools (Figma desktop app)

VS Code: The Perfectly Tuned IDE

Extensions That Actually Matter

After trying 200+ extensions, these 15 are the only ones I keep:

// .vscode/extensions.json
{
  "recommendations": [
    // Core productivity
    "ms-vscode.vscode-typescript-next",
    "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
    "bradlc.vscode-tailwindcss",
    "formulahendry.auto-rename-tag",
    "christian-kohler.path-intellisense",
    
    // Git integration
    "eamodio.gitlens",
    "github.vscode-pull-request-github",
    
    // Development experience
    "ms-vscode.vscode-json",
    "ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers",
    "ms-playwright.playwright",
    
    // AI assistance
    "github.copilot",
    "github.copilot-chat",
    
    // Themes and appearance
    "pkief.material-icon-theme",
    "dracula-theme.theme-dracula"
  ]
}

My VS Code Configuration

Here's my complete settings.json that took 3 years to perfect:

{
  // Editor behavior
  "editor.fontSize": 14,
  "editor.fontFamily": "JetBrains Mono, Monaco, 'Courier New', monospace",

  }
}

Custom Keybindings

These keyboard shortcuts save me hundreds of keystrokes daily:

// keybindings.json
[
  {
    "key": "cmd+shift+e",
    "command": "workbench.view.explorer",
    "when": "viewContainer.workbench.view.explorer.enabled"

  },
  {
    "key": "cmd+shift+d",

  },
  {
    "key": "cmd+shift+x",
    "command": "workbench.view.extensions",
    "when": "viewContainer.workbench.view.extensions.enabled"
  },
  {
    "key": "cmd+t",
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.toggleTerminal"
  },
  {

    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.new"

    "command": "workbench.action.closeActiveEditor"
  },
  {
    "key": "cmd+shift+w",
    "command": "workbench.action.closeAllEditors"
  }
]

The Results: Measurable Productivity Gains

After implementing this setup, here's what I measured over 6 months:

// productivity-metrics.js
const productivityGains = {
  timesSaved: {
    commandLineOperations: '45 minutes/day',
    fileNavigation: '30 minutes/day',
    windowManagement: '15 minutes/day',
    gitOperations: '25 minutes/day',
    totalDaily: '115 minutes/day'
  },
  
  efficiency: {
    codeWritingSpeed: '+25%',
    bugDebuggingSpeed: '+40%',
    projectSetupTime: '-60%',
    contextSwitching: '-50%'
  },
  
  qualityImprovements: {
    codeQuality: 'Consistent formatting and linting',
    gitCommitQuality: 'Better commit messages with templates',
    documentation: 'Auto-generated and updated',
    testCoverage: 'Increased by 30%'
  }
};

Backup and Sync Strategy

Dotfiles Management

I maintain all configurations in a Git repository:

#!/bin/bash
# sync-dotfiles.sh
 
# Repository: https://github.com/mikulgohil/dotfiles
 
# Symlink all configuration files
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/.zshrc ~/.zshrc
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/.gitconfig ~/.gitconfig
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/.vscode/settings.json ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/settings.json
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/.vscode/keybindings.json ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/keybindings.json
ln -sf ~/dotfiles/starship.toml ~/.config/starship.toml
 
# VS Code extensions
if command -v code &> /dev/null; then
  cat ~/dotfiles/.vscode/extensions.txt | xargs -n 1 code --install-extension
fi
 
echo "Dotfiles synced successfully!"

Automated Backups

#!/bin/bash
# backup-configs.sh
 
BACKUP_DIR="$HOME/Backups/$(date +%Y-%m-%d)"
mkdir -p $BACKUP_DIR
 
# Backup VS Code settings
cp -r "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Code/User" "$BACKUP_DIR/vscode"
 
# Backup terminal configs

Key Takeaways

After 5 years of iteration, here's what I've learned:

Automate everything - If you do it more than twice, script it
Consistency is key - Same shortcuts, same tools, same workflows everywhere
Less is more - 15 carefully chosen VS Code extensions beat 50 random ones
Measure impact - Track time saved and productivity gains
Version control configs - Treat dotfiles like code
Regular maintenance - Update and prune monthly

The setup I've shared isn't just about tools—it's about creating an environment where you can think clearly and work efficiently. Every optimization, every shortcut, and every automation serves the goal of reducing friction between your ideas and their implementation.

Start with one section, perfect it, then move to the next. Your future self will thank you for the investment.
