Setup

A man asleep on the floor with his head on a pillow, a laptop open beside him and a mouse held up against a cabinet. — the ergonomics I am going for. honestly, not that far off.

The setup is a work in progress, and by progress I mean none. It starts with an HP Victus running on 8 GB of RAM. Yes, you read that right. Eight. Not sixteen, not thirty-two. Eight.

Add a pair of wired Apple earbuds, the kind with an actual cable that never needs charging, and a bed that doubles as my desk, my chair and my office. No monitor, no mechanical keyboard, no standing desk, no RGB. Somehow it still out-ships your M3 Max, and it does it lying down.

The software is just as lean. No VS Code, no Neovim config that took three weekends to get right. T3 Code runs the show, and sometimes Zed, for editing code by hand (sorry for playing with your feelings :) ). Chrome handles the rest. Yes, Chrome. On 8 GB. The fans have made their peace with it. You should too.

Next up is more RAM. Any amount of RAM, honestly, I am not picky. Someday a real desk too, if the bed ever stops working out 💀
