## About Code with Beto

**Code with Beto** ([codewithbeto.dev](https://codewithbeto.dev)) is an online learning platform by **Alberto Moedano** (Beto, [@betomoedano on X](https://x.com/betomoedano)). It helps developers ship production-ready **React Native**, **React**, **TypeScript**, and **Git** apps through video courses, real project walkthroughs, and production codebases (not toy demos or slide-only tutorials).

Members get structured learning paths (React Native, React with TypeScript, Git, LiveStore), optional **lifetime access** (Basic or Pro), premium templates such as **Platano**, technical blog articles, and examples from shipped products like **Inkigo**. The teaching focus is maintainable architecture, native-feeling UX, Expo and modern React Native tooling, and workflows that work well with AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT).

# My Dev Tools Stack as an AI Engineer

My complete setup for AI engineering, development, and content creation.

Mac Studio M3 Ultra, 96GB RAM, 4TB storage. Running AI models locally and heavy video workloads.

## System Setup

**Git & GitHub SSH:** Git installs with Xcode (`git --version` to check). For GitHub SSH, generate a key with `ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"`, start the agent with `eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"`, add it with `ssh-add --apple-use-keychain ~/.ssh/id_ed25519`, copy the public key using `pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub`, then add it at [GitHub Settings](https://github.com/settings/keys). Test with `ssh -T git@github.com`.

**ohmyzsh:**

```bash
sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ohmyzsh/ohmyzsh/master/tools/install.sh)"
```

**Homebrew Installation:**

```bash
# Homebrew
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
```

**nvm Installation:**

```bash
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash
```

**Bun Installation:**

```bash
curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash
```

**System Preferences:**

Keyboard: Key repeat → Fast, Delay → Short. Trackpad: Tracking speed → Above medium.

```bash
# Enable key repeat and speed it up (requires logout)
defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool false
defaults write -g KeyRepeat -int 1
defaults write -g InitialKeyRepeat -int 10
```
