I think there's varying degrees depending on what your goal is. Besides VMs you could have a different user login for each compartment which means things like browser profiles, shell history and other things will get their own settings. I record a lot of videos and wrote a little script[0] to help backup and restore my shell history to avoid auto-complete and CTRL + r searches from showing sensitive info (client work, etc.) while recording. I only use one browser for recording which has its own history too. For my use case that's enough separation, for others it might not be. For example I still need to be careful about running commands like `docker image ls` on video because it has potential to show client work. I just remember to black out sensitive info during editing if it happens to come up. [0]: https://github.com/nickjj/dotfiles/bl

Is anyone else mostly rolling with the zsh (not oh-my-zsh) defaults? After so many years of using Bash I switched to zsh almost a year ago. I use the vanilla zsh set up with 2 plugins: - https://github.com/zdharma-continuum/fast-syntax-highlightin... for very good and fast syntax highlighting - https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions for auto-suggestions I don't use a plugin manager, instead I put together a ~20 line shell script[0] which handles either cloning or pulling plugins, then you can load them in your zshrc[1]. I haven't found the need for anything else and my whole dev environment is based on using tmux, terminal Vim, etc.. Basically I spend a lot of time there in my day to day. I started with the idea of "less is more" and planned to add more things over time but the time to add new things hasn't come yet. [0] https:/
