About Me

I’m fmariluis, a software developer and political scientist from Buenos Aires. This blog is made with Hugo and hosted on Vercel.

Software

This is the software (and hardware) I use regularly. I try new software all the time, but these are the daily drivers. I keep this list somewhat updated.

Hardware

• Most things Apple: iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, MacBook Pro 16. Things just work.

Operating Systems

• Mac OS X Big Sur
• Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (server)

Desktop software

• Google Chrome: reluctantly adopted it as my main browser, Meet and other Googly works best here, and I was tired of jumping between Chrome and Safari.
• Vim
• VSCode for some things
• Telegram Desktop
• Slack
• QGIS: Sometimes I need to do some GIS related stuff

Paid desktop software

I put these on a special category because some things are definitely worth it

• PyCharm
• DataGrip
• Monodraw
• Diagrams for Mac
• Dash (documentation browser)
• 1Password
• Fantastical
• Alfred
• Things
• Bear: Beautiful note taking app

iOS specific

• Safari: Works great
• Blink: mosh terminal for iOS. Absolutely essential for developing on the iPad using a VPS.

Utils

• di: provides disk usage information, like df -h
• ncdu: detailed disk usage information, a curses interface for du
• fdfind: a better find
• ripgrep: a better grep
• exa: a better ls
• vim: the text editor. I use Neovim.
• htop: a better top
• tmux: a terminal multiplexer
• tmuxp: a manager for tmux sessions
• git-diff-image: an extension to ‘git diff’ that provides support for diffing images
• jpegoptim: a jpeg optimizer
• stow: for dotfiles management. As shown here.
