Excerpt

One of the greatest productivity boosts you can have as a programmer is optimizing your working environment to more tightly integrate your tools and remove inefficiencies. Come learn a number of tips, tricks, and tools that can make your programming experience faster and better.

Description

This talk will cover a variety of techniques and tools that will make your day-to-day programming experience more efficient and powerful. Topics that will be covered include:

  • Using GitGot to batch manage Git repositories
  • Using MiseEnPlace to manage project-level symlinks
  • Other tools for managing project-level configuration, since as having distinct Git author addresses on a per project basis
  • Why your code searching tool could probably be better
  • How integrating all of this stuff into your editor will speed things up and allow you to spend more time working on code, not the stuff around code
