I’ve stolen a lot from my friend Zahra Thabet . She has a ton of great resources on her website, use them.

IDE

Everything I write is in Cursor . It’s 2024, it’s time to accept LLMs into our life. Also it makes me like 80% faster at coding.

Hugo

I use Hugo to build this website. I stole the vast majority of the code from Pascal Michaillat who has spent a lot of time making economists’ lives easier.

LaTeX

I use LaTeX , and I write it in Texifier . This is the main place I’ve found that Cursor fails – the autocomplete is more annoying than helpful. For shared projects, I use Overleaf with Dropbox integration.

Obsidian

I store and organize all of my notes in Obsidian vaults.

Git

I use Git to manage all of my code. I use GitHub to host my code. My git username is gsekeres. I will be posting all of the code from my first year coursework on there – see notes for more details.

Julia

I do the vast majority of my coding in Julia . My first year macroeconomics coursework is in Matlab, which I find deeply annoying. I’m currently doing the problem sets in tandem, in both Julia and Matlab (another reason why Cursor is great). Everyone should use Julia, though.
