Just happened across a RORO mailing list post from 3 years ago in my archives (think we were RoR Aus back then) where Lachie started a "Friday Arvo Frivolity" thread about what we use... was thinking about resurrecting it, but you beat me to it! Having said that, I don't use anything too out of the ordinary. I did a "must update my blog with something" post about this semi-recently too: http://davidbolton.net/blog/2009/10/my-tools-of-the-trade/ My answers are more about my dev environment than deployment targets. > ... Shell? zsh. Used Fish for a long time, but not quite ubiquitous enough. > ... Text editor? And text editor macros? vim (with nerdtree, nerdcommenter, a snippets plugin, rails plugin, fuzzyfinder). Man, I wish vim scripting wasn't such a mess though. > ... Operating system and extensions? OS X or Ubuntu -- my real sweet spot was an Ubuntu setup with an excellent tiling window manager (I think it was "awesome" tiling manager). So productive. > ... Deployment database? Postgres Other things I can't do without for development work: Balsamiq Mockups is super Dropbox SizeUp (closest thing to a tiling window manager in OS X) VMWare Fusion Wow, just realised how boring my setup is. Anyway, keen to see what other people are using these days. D -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
