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, 32GB RAM (2021)

    I was using an Intel-based 15” Dell XPS prior to this and the difference is night and day. I’ve never heard the fans turn on a single time, even under the incredibly heavy loads I put it through with various builds.

  • Dell 27” Monitor

    Well, it works!

  • Macbook Keyboard

    I know, I know but I really do like the feel of the new keys. No offense Jony Ive!

  • Logitech MX Master 3

    Logitech hits it out of the park as alaways! . It is sleek, stylish, and comfortable to use, making it perfect for long hours of work. Plus, it's so smooth and precise, you'll wonder how you ever managed to use anything else.

  • Herman Miller Aeron Remastered

    If I’m going to slouch in the worst ergonomic position imaginable all day, I might as well do it in a classic.

Development tools

  • VS Code

    It is the best. No discussion, I don't want to hear it.

  • Xcode

    It's not like Apple gives us the right to choose.

  • Github

    Great platform that hosts my life's work.

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.

Productivity

  • Arc Browser

    A breath of fresh air in the cluttered browser world! Smooth, sleek, and intuitive, it glides through the web like a pro. It's the antidote to browser boredom—effortlessly anticipating your needs and delivering a seamless experience. Say hello to browsing bliss!

  • Notion

    Notion is like a personal assistant that makes you look good, even if you're actually a hot mess.

  • Google Calendar

    I would be lost without this baddie.

  • Spotify

    Blasting JayZ, BurnaBoy and Anavitoria on full volume keeps me focused and pumped! wooh!

Mastodon
