How I Work

I work primarily within Emacs, typically with a Chromium web browser and/or a terminal emulator alongside it, and Slack and/or other messaging apps on another screen.

Organizing my space

  • Using a tiling window manager (yabai in OSX

) to keep windows I need to see where I need to see them, and avoid getting jumbled with things getting hidden behind each other.

  • Splitting my ultrawide so I can provide a desktop for sharing my workspace remotely
  • Keeping a dedicated monitor for Slack communication
