Setting Up Your Desk

Equipment Requirements

You’ll need:

  • Good quality headset with mic. Countable will reimbuse up to $40 on this. Cheap option we’ve verified to work well:
  • A computer.
    • If you’re a developer, it should have either Linux or MacOS (we don’t use Windows for work).
    • If you’re a developer or designer, you want 4GB or more of RAM, 128GB or more of disk, and a core i3 or better CPU.
    • For hardware, we recommend dell XPS series OR a desktop. For operating systems, we recommend Ubuntu LTS or Elementary OS.
  • A quiet, hopefully cool, room to work from with a stable internet connection.
    • When you ping 8.8.8.8 you should get no dropped packets or numbers over 100ms.
