It's what cool kids are using nowadays. So when yesterday my latest Chromium update broke the font rendering, I decided to try it out. It's the Zen Browser. It's cool, but I think I already miss the simplicity of Chromium, or maybe I just need to get used to this one. One of the hardest things to give up was the Chrome dev tools. Say what you want about Chrome, but its dev tools are just amazing. So I wasn't too thrilled to see that the Zen Browser is built on top of Firefox. I've used it before and I don't remember being too pleased with it. Although I have to say that this new browser is growing on me. It also helped me realize that I'm a creature of comfort. My IDE hasn't changed from Vim in about five years. Although I did switch from Vim to Neovim, but that wasn't too hard. I had to clean up my config anyway, so starting a new one with Neovim wasn't really that hard or much of a change. I've been using the same OS for about five years too. I probably will never be changing either of them anytime soon. These are my tools—I've been crafting them over the last five years, and I'm okay with the change in browser as I never really configured it much.
Somehow I've changed a few programming languages over the years. Picked up new ones and dropped others. It's not something I'm attached to much. Although Go has grown on me quite a bit over the years, and Zig is following suit. The never-changing set of tools makes no difference, but it's nice to have some constants. I'm ashamed to admit this, but I always look at tooling for a language first and that it works well on my setup before fully committing. I've come to realize that a visual debugger is quite valuable to me, so I do have VS Code installed, but once I'm done debugging, I'm back to Neovim. Not sure what the point of this post is, but it's out there now. Not sure what I wanted to write about in the first place.
