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.
