🧑‍💻 My editors:
In most videos, I’m using CodePen these days: https://codepen.io/ - with High Contrast Dark theme and the font Commit Mono
And if not CodePen, then I’m probably using Zed: https://zed.dev/ with the theme Ayu Dark, and the font ZedMono
In older videos, I was using VS Code - https://code.visualstudio.com/ with the theme One Dark Pro Var, and the font Cascadia
