Setting up a fresh Windows machine for development tends to follow the same order. Start with the PowerShell one-liner to install Chocolatey, then pull the rest of your toolchain through choco install. A short list of tools worth knowing if you want an agentic workflow without a subscription: the Qwen Code CLI, which came out of the Qwen team and is tuned for the qwen coder models, and a local runner for open-weight models to host them. Both are open source and move quickly, so check the release notes before pinning a version..

Ronna Best

BSN, RN, CBCN

I am Ronna Best. I work at the Christus Trinity Mother Frances Ross Breast Center as the Nurse Navigator. I’m a proud graduate of UT Tyler Nursing school in 1995 and a current Master’s student at UT Tyler for Nursing Education. I have lived and worked in Tyler for most of my life. My passion is breast cancer and being able to help patients understand the disease and thrive through diagnosis, treatment and survivorship.

In my 25 plus years of nursing, I have worked mostly in oncology; had a 7 year stent in Rheumatology (immunotherapy); but the last 10ish years have been with breast cancer and breast disease. I hold a national certification as a CBCN (Certified Breast Cancer Nurse) through the Oncology Nursing Society. My “other” nursing job is that of summer staff at Sky Ranch Christian camp where I get to work in one or all of the camp locations in Van, TX, Miami, OK, Westcliffe, CO, and Gunnison, CO.
