Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.

Here you can find 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 list of all of my favorite stuff.

Workstation

  • 16” MacBook Pro, M1 Max, 16GB 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 my daily work 😉.

  • Apple Magic Keyboard

    Nice and slim keyboard with the right pressure point, I really like it.

  • Apple Magic Trackpad

    Since I switched to this trackpad I do not use a mouse anymore, even on my desktop computer. Something about all the gestures makes me feel very productive.

  • Apple Airpods Pro v2

    The noise-cancellation feature is incredible and helps me stay focused whether I'm in the office or working from home.

Development tools

  • VS Code

    I don’t care if it’s missing all of the fancy IDE features everyone else relies on, VS Code is still the best text editor ever made.

  • 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.

Design

  • Figma

    I started using Figma as just a design tool but it is also very useful for collecting visual ideas.

Productivity

  • Things

    One of those GTD tools, but from my point of view the one with the visually best looking interface and very nice effects.
