  "textContent": "Goodbye Atom\n\nI wanted to like Atom, and I was one of those stubborn ones who had been putting\noff trying VS Code for probably years and continued to use Atom and putting up\nwith the subpar performance, even on a relatively overpowered computer.\n\nA few weeks back though, I decided to bite the bullet and give VS Code a fair\ntry, and after using it for just a few days, I didn't see myself going back to\nAtom anytime soon. There's just so much more performance in Code compared to\nAtom (which confuses me because they're both Electron), and included in that\nperformance is more features included standard, instead of needing 100\nextensions to get what I want out of it.\n\nLooking at the writing on the wall, I don't foresee Atom lasting too much\nlonger, I haven't seen a new feature added to Atom since right around the time\nAtom Teletype came out, and then that's been pretty much it since then.\n\nSadly this means my theme that I've spent the better part of five years tweaking\nand modifying will end up slowly dying, but given that Pubster really isn't\nprimarily my work when you boil it down, I don't feel too bad about it.\n\n<!-- {{<relativelink \"/posts/2016-02-12-pubster-for-atom\" >}} -->\n\nHello Code\n\nSo what's my Code look like now?\n\n!Editor Setup\n\nI've started using Iosevka as my programming font with it configured to more or\nless match Pragmatica Pro's font features, and I'm really enjoying it so far.\nI've tried a bunch of different fonts, and had tried Iosevka in the past and\nwasn't sure how I felt about it, but now that it's got ligature support and\ndecent hinting, I'm a fan. Additionally, for plain text editing (markdown,\nplaintext, commit messages), I switch over to Iosevka Sparkle which is designed\nfor prose use using settings.json overrides for specific languages:\n\nAs for the color scheme itself, I decided to give\nMonokai Pro a try, and I'm really loving it. The theme\nitself is nice, and the file icon themes it comes with are also fantastic and\nclear without being obnoxious. While it does cost a few bucks, for how nice it\nlooks I think it's definitely worth it.",
