My/Pref/Dev/Tool

• My Dev Tool Preferences

  • See My/Pref/Dev/mise for the larger mise-centric context

  • use mise/Tools for managing dev tools

    • Prefer the latest stable or LTS version of each Programming Language, CLI/Tool

      • Where practical, delay the minimum release age by 5 days to avoid Security/Attack/Chain/Supply / Supply Chain Attacks. For example, mise/Config/Setting/minimum_release_age can do this.

    • Use Preferred Programming Languages and their ecosystems

      • My/Pref/Dev/Tool/PL

        • My Preferred Software Dev Programming Languages

          • from high to low in terms of preferences

          • Rust

            • My/Pref/Dev/Tool/PL/RS

              • My Rust Dev Preferences

                • for TUIs use Ratatui

          • Python

            • My/Pref/Dev/Tool/PL/Py

              • My Python Dev Preferences

                • mise to manage python version and to install uv, which is my preferred Package Manager in python
                  • use latest "bugfix" python version, AKA "pre-prerelease", e.g. Python 3.13 at the moment
                • deps go in pyproject.toml with uv/sync for lockfile
                • mise/Task/Files for build scripts
                • prefer Py/asyncio when possible
                • My/Pref/Dev/Tool/PL/Py/Testing

                  • Prefs for Software/Testing in Python
                    • use Pytest
                    • use Pytest/Fixtures
                    • separate integration from unit tests by folder, for example:

                      • my-package/
                          my_package/
                            my_module.py
                          tests/
                            conftest.py
                            integration/
                              my_package/
                                test_my_module.py
                            unit/
                              my_package/
                                test_my_module.py
                        

                • My/Pref/Dev/Tool/PL/Py/Static Code Analysis

                  • Linting, Programming/Language/Formatter, Static Code Analysis tools
                    • Ruff for both, using Py/Lib/black and Py/Lib/isort under the hood
                  • Type Checking - Make heavy use of Mypy
                • My/Pref/Dev/Tool/PL/Py/Server Side APIs

                  • Server/Side APIs
                    • Primary Preference is FastAPI for one-off APIs
                      • Only use PostgreSQL and Alembic when absolutely necessary or explicitly requested
                    • Secondary Preference is Django for bigger Monoliths, getting things done with modularity, ORM-powered migrations.

          • Typescript and NodeJS

            • My/Pref/Dev/Tool/PL/JS

              • My JS Ecosystem preferences

                • Prefer to use Typescript over raw NodeJS or JavaScript

                  • My/Pref/Dev/Tool/PL/JS/TS

                    • My Typescript Preferences

                      • Don't use "Barrel files" (see also Typescript/Concept/Barrel File) as they are harmful to tree-shaking and import path transparency.

                • JS Package Manager Prefs

                  • My/Pref/Dev/Tool/PL/JS/Package Manager

                    • use Aube as the preferred package manager for NodeJS, with npm as a fallback
                      • Why use aube? - it's written by Person/Jeff Dickey to integrate natively into mise, it's compatible with npm and faster and more secure than other npm package managers
                      • In order to use aube, it should be added to mise/Config/mise.toml. According to mise/Backend/npm, as long as aube is installed, mise will use it by default.
                      • use mise/Config/Setting/minimum_release_age of 5d in mise settings, which aube respects
            • My/Pref/Dev/Tool/PL/JS/TS

              • My Typescript Preferences

                • Don't use "Barrel files" (see also Typescript/Concept/Barrel File) as they are harmful to tree-shaking and import path transparency.
  • take a mise-centric for managing environments and tools
    • Python
    • NodeJS
      • prefer to use the latest NodeJS/LTS version
      • prefer Typescript
      • Client/Side
        • React - current top preference
        • VueJS - secondary preference
    • Documentation
      • utilize Logseq or Obsidian in a docs/ sub-folder (or possibly <project>-docs sub-folder) with Markdown inside a GitHub/Repo
        • for Obsidian community plugins in such a repo, see My/Pref/Dev/Tool/Obsidian/Plugins in Git
