Things that keep me coding, moving, and building.

These are the tools I use to build software, stay productive, or sometimes just feel productive while procrastinating. A big list of my favorite stuff.

Workstation

  • 16” MacBook Pro, M1 Max, 32GB RAM (2021)

    I was using an Intel-based 16” MacBook Pro 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 our various launch simulations.

  • LG 27 Inch UltraFine 5K IPS

    because my eyes deserve better error messages in ultra-sharp resolution.

  • Apple Magic Keyboard

    minimal travel, minimal distractions, maximal typo speed.

  • Apple Magic Trackpad

    for when you want to feel fancy while closing Stack Overflow tabs with style.

Development tools

  • Neovim

    Customized NvChad setup. I don't care if it takes a bit more setup — Neovim is still the best text editor I've ever used.

  • Warp

    a terminal so slick it almost makes debugging fun. Almost.

  • TablePlus

    because life's too short to write SELECT * in a CLI every time.

Productivity

  • Raycast

    like Spotlight, but actually useful. Feels like cheating.

  • Flow

    Keep track of your focus sessions and don't forget to take breaks.

  • Obsidian

    Great tool to save your notes and keep them organized.
