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

  • 13” MacBook Air, M1 Chip

    I don't know how Apple makes such a tiny laptop so fast and responsive, no matter what load I put on it.

  • Dell Optiplex 3020 Tower

    Intel core i7 with oodles of memory and 1TB of SSD drives running Windows 11 or Latest.

  • MX Mechanical mini or TVS Gold Bharat

    The MX Mechanical Mini keyboard offers a sleek, compact design with precise tactile feedback, perfect for productivity.

  • MX Master 3S

    Something about all the gestures makes me feel like a wizard with special powers. I really like feeling like a wizard with special powers.

  • Green Soul® Jupiter Superb Chair

    If I'm going to slouch in the worst ergonomic position imaginable all day, I might as well do it in an expensive chair.

Development Tools

  • Visual Studio Code

    Visual Studio Code give me versatile and lightweight code editor with powerful extensions for seamless development experience.

  • iTerm2

    I'm honestly not even sure what features I get with this that aren't just part of the macOS Terminal but it's what I use.

  • WSL or Hyper-v

    WSL and Hyper-V streamline development on Windows, providing seamless integration with Linux and efficient virtualization.
