If you find yourself using your mouse so often that you feel you might need a trackball, then maybe you should invest some time in learning your IDE’s keyboard shortcuts

[@jonforhan9196]

why would i do that when i can just right click 15,000 times

[@cabji]

because then you'd know the shortcuts... while you click 15,000 times.

[@ducksoop.x]

or just use VIM

[@PurpleComrad]

For those who can't afford any of these. Stay motivated. We are in this together 🤝🏻 :D

[@Zinachi_Dumebi]

Sigh, we'll get there.

[@its640am]

Once we hit that first job... maybe.

[@MohamIsMe]

Kitchen chair, a 5$ mouse and 2 old monitors and a keyboard from my dad's old job. The perfect setup

[@filhanislamictv8712]

yeah buddy.

[@nwabugwusomkelechukwu9362]

Sure bro

[@akzhol2441]

Best purchase second monitor, and to code actually fast u need low travel key distance. Notebook keys ideal

[@randallo3614]

I considered a second monitor, but now I think maybe a separate laptop would be better. I am not working now. Only studying web dev. Into Git & Github now. I need a job though while I study. I'm not a young college student. Most likely I will work remotely and I use my main desktop for everything from banking to storing photos bla bla. Typical user stuff. What's your opinion?

[@MatejDrbohlav01]

I like the mentors point - i think it is often underestimated, I might look into it

[@contort69]

An Ergo keyboard is a must. You need a keyboard that keeps your wrist straight and at the correct handle and height. I recommend the Microsoft Sculpt. I also agree with you that the trackball mouse is best to reduce wrist strain. If I could find an Ergonomic + Mechanical keyboard combo I would be in heaven.

[@duartelucas5746]

Reddragon has a low profile mechanical tkl with dedicated media keys and a wheel for sound or whatever you wish. Dope af. With the reds you write insanely fast and accurate. At least for my experience. I don’t like to have to go all the way down in order to have the press marked, like the browns.

[@LeonardoPinto]

My tip for the wrist pain is to use the mouse on the "other" hand, it works well for me. It's kinda weird at beginning but it's great to build new neuron connections 😅

[@mrxcreamy10]

Just use vim it's better. You'll hardly need a mouse

[@LeonardoPinto]

@@mrxcreamy10 vim is for giga chads

[@ducksoop.x]

@@mrxcreamy10 This is the way honestly. Using the mouse ALL the time kills productivity

[@Zakkary]

@@mrxcreamy10 Hey, sorry to bother can you educate me on what a VIM is?

[@murtajiz545]

I code on my 2015 MacBook Air. I don’t have a desk. I take great pride in the fact that I can keep up with my classmates despite not having a fraction of their set up / resources. We’re in this together folks.

[@justadude8716]

Do invest in a good monitor. A crappy keyboard or some random mouse won't stop you, but your eyes will. I consider the monitor the most important part.

[@rasmusl2067]

To this list I would add a whiteboard and the ability to touch type

[@emilrueh]

Heyo, if you are considering doing another zoom meetup with advice etc. I'd love to join as I only now got word of the past one linked below your description's form.

[@jeffomoefe9166]

sir you are awesome

[@joe_ferreira]

Most important is a quality chair.

[@JTWebMan]

I agree Chair matters more then keyboard in my mind. A nice mouse is good a ketboard is just a nice to have.

[@alexbecar977]

I would recommend using Vim bindings in your IDE od choice and lifting weights, them you won't need all that stuff to protect your fragile body

[@qBtz]

don't forget about the programming socks!

[@susandanielkareem]

Just got the walking pad! I hope it's useful

[@akosuakoranteng3327]

Got one too, I’m enjoying it

[@Fanatic17]

I have an mx master 3, mx vertical and mx ergo I love the trackball the most

[@bigdaddy7729]

Damn I used good old zipper bags as cable bag , cheap, u know what u got in it and easily customizable

[@apalladium5k]

Trackball mice rock.

[@The_Dark_Wizard_]

let's... fking... g000000!!!!!!! 💯🔥⚡

[@bigdaddy7729]

01:07, I was gonna say just b4 he introduce trackball yea mx master is good but I love Logitech trekball like eego , and boom he came and said the same thing . They are very helpful specially if tou for 3 desktop monitors. You cam just spin the ball and go from one monitor to next tral quick !

[@Wazonowsky]

Hi Aaron i saw you offer a course on making money off freelancing that would allow you to scale, however I am already in the industry as a no degree java / everything / devops engineer for like 2 years and would like to transition myself into freelancing self employed contractor do you maybe offer guidance in that space?

[@duartelucas5746]

With that sort of mouse, I get pretty strained from using the thumb

[@GPiotrowicz66]

Get yourself a vertical mouse - cheaper than the one in the video and it's really better for your hands that the one in the ad

[@whatswrongwithnick]

Have yall tried using the Xreal air to mostly replace your laptop monitor? Considering this and if someone has had success the better

[@ke30_]

Mouseless programming ftw

[@LetsDrawTogether]

Maybe I'm not getting a new setup because I don't have the money for it?

[@-AdiKsOn-]

Guys. You HAVE to get a custom keyboard. It's been 4 months and I still start coding JUST TO USE THAT KEYBOARD ONE MORE TIME. I thought it'll be a waste of money BUT HELL I WAS WRONG

[@thinkinginverse]

Me who dont even have a pc ...and after 3days my semister exams r starting and the inly wa i can practice is using an on-line ide via my mobile .... sometimes being broke hurts...anyone got any tios how can i earn some cash so that i could buy a oc

bro i have one problem for those tips, i don't have enough money and i am from argentina, the south of argentina, so... getting some of that things cost me 50 millons of years and like a million dollars in taxes, jk, but at least 6-12 months and pay the double of the money (the same that i said that i don't have lol)

[@Zumito]

also, i think that the ergo keyboards is a better option that the custom mechanical ones, i tested one like a 2 months ago and i write like 2 times more faster and that is without knowledge about how the heck i can use that piece of plastic, but also, i feel less forced.

[@eleh1337]

So?

[@tejas4032]

Bro i thought the pills bottle in thumbnail was drugs 😂😂

[@kilteddwarf]

mouse: useless, unless you use a floating window manager, which is stupid for programming... install i3... kb: go with a 40% olkb, also split is nice, but a bit hard with the controller... because you need 2... working out: do pushups while compiling... you get about 45 pushups per miunute, some projects take 5min and more to compile... so... 225 pushups every h... thats not bad...

[@xydez]

If your having a job as a programmer a mouse is lowkey uselss. I usually disconnect it to be more productive.

[@abyssmal4164]

what a monster! who would use clickys especially at work 😭😭😭😭😭

[@electra2707_]

Its unforgettable to use a mouse as a programmer dam just use the keyboard for everything

[@Akshaylive]

NGL this list is dumb. As an engineer for over 10 years, all I can suggest is, "get started and focus on the code". There's nothing more powerful than that.
