I do API development for the web. My machine runs Ubuntu 16.04, and my work is almost completely in JavaScript and TypeScript.

I have Node.js setup, and I have TypeScript installed as my first npm package, since the scale of my work is made so much more manageable by it.

Locally, I run WebStorm by JetBrains. It has a lot of useful plugins, and it’s build in Debugger is invaluable when debugging large, complex code. I use Docker for MongoDB and Postgresql. PGAdmin is extremely valuable for Postgres.

Git is used all the time to check in code, and most of my code is self-documented/JSDoc, since I’m not really a big fan of writing external documentation unless it is user facing.
