To start with let's be perfectly clear. I am not current a web developer but rather someone learning the skills to be a JS Software Engineer. I blow through HTML/CSS/ and JS currently. I am learning react & Redux with more planned shortly. But all that means is that my setups are a bit more flexible…

So I am going to give you what I currently run between software & hardware and get you a look at what works and what doesn't.

HARDWARE:

This is the easy one. I run both a Desktop PC & a MacBook pro 2020 w/ touch bar.

Desktop:
Ryzen 7 2700X Processor
16GB Ram
1TB M.2 SSD
3 TB HDD Programs Drive
1 TB HDD Storage Drive
2x 27in 4k Monitors (on a side by side monitor mount)
Blue Snowball Ice Mic
Logitech 615 Mechanical Keyboard
Logitech G Pro Mouse
GTX 2060

MacBook Pro 13 2020:
8GB Ram
256 M.2 SSD
TouchBar
Cast to 55in 4k TV
Enroute:
Magic Keyboard
Magic Touchpad 2

Software:
