My setup is simple.
For airgapped from AI: neovim with packer, harper lsp, centerpad, neotree, jedi vim, and that's it.
Alacritty with nerd fronts but even that feels like bloat sometimes.
For agentic: Homebrew claude code setup, minimal, handles global state. Vscode for hand editing or unfucking git.
For blog writing: Still finding what works best. I barely let AI touch my writing as is. i just like the feeling of interacting. I'll probably just use Typora or Obsidian.
All changes were made as needed, I don't spend hours tweaking, when something is needed I add it.
