38 - Luis Vasconcellos
Luis Vasconcellos has a decade-long experience as a software engineer from São Paulo, Brazil. In his spare time, he enjoys studying Cybersecurity, practicing Jiu-Jitsu, and spending time with his family.
He also developed a Vim plugin that highlights keywords inside a buffer called interestingwords. A Lua version is coming out soon!
Neovim and Terminal
My Neovim setup incorporates modern Lua plugins such as Oil, Cmp, LuaLine, Conform, and Telescope, all managed with Lazy. Mason and Fidget primarily power the LSP environment.
I love the Nord Theme, which I have configured across every UI plugin, including components like autocomplete from CMP and code previews from Telescope.
More recently I've been using a fantastic Telescope extension called EasyPick. It allows custom data sources from shell invocations, which I like to use to list new and changed files from my git repo—essentially the key files you need in any coding session.
