Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.
I get asked a lot about the things I use to build software, stay productive, or buy to fool myself into thinking I'm being productive when I'm really just procrastinating. Here's a big list of all of my favorite stuff.
Workstation
16” MacBook Pro, M1 Max, 64GB RAM (2021)
Just a superb piece of technology. I love Linux too, but I'm enjoying my stint in the Apple ecosystem.
Mechanical Keyboard
The benefit of my heavy-duty mechanical keyboard is that it doubles as a zombie apocalypse weapon.
Apple Magic Trackpad
Trackpad > mouse.
Herman Miller Aeron Chair
This posture doesn't happen by itself!
Development tools
Visual Studio Code
I don't care if it's missing all of the fancy IDE features everyone else relies on, Sublime Text is still the best text editor ever made.
Warp
Check it out.
Design
Figma
We started using Figma as just a design tool but now it's become our virtual whiteboard for the entire company. Never would have expected the collaboration features to be the real hook.
