Hahah, I think you guys are missing a couple of obvious ones besides Ruby.

  • Ruby
  • Terminal(!)
  • Coffee(!)
  • SublimeText
  • Headphones (Don’t need music, just need something to place on my head, so that people leave me alone)

I was thinking of saying Ubuntu Linux with all the obvious inclusions such as bash. (which is the only shell anyone ever needs :wink: starts running :running: :volcano: ). I use Gnome Terminal with multiple tab windows per project.

I prefer really big headphones. It not only is more obvious you’re wearing them. But for some reason they seem to help stay “in the zone”.

My Mac comes with terminal :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I don’t like big headphones - the magnets give me a headache. I have two speakers either side of my room, two smaller higher frequency speakers under my monitor (for stereo image) and a sub :003: and I love Drum & Bass - I turn it up when I don’t want to be disturbed :044:

  • On Linux
  • RVM
  • Vim / Atom
  • Git + Vimdiff and useful alias for log analysis
  • Terminal
  • Stack Overflow and this Forum

Started with Aptana Studio, really nice to begin with Ruby, but dropped now.

  • Netbeans (got used to using it years ago when it was THE ruby IDE and have never broken the habit)
  • Atom (for when I need a bit of multi-line editing or want to work outside of a ruby project)
  • leafpad (because sometimes all I want is a really simple text editor)
  • Xubuntu (All the power of Ubuntu - without any of the gumf)
  • MySQL Workbench (the best way to dig into MySQL databases)
  • Git Gui (Because I can’t count, and I can’t be bothered to remember all the git commands)
