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 list of all of my favorite stuff.
Workstation
14” MacBook Pro, M1 Max, 32GB RAM (2021)
I was using an Intel-based 13” MacBook Pro prior to this and the difference is night and day. I’ve never heard the fans turn on a single time and the battery life feels infinite.
27" Dell S2722QC
My first 4K monitor is a game-changer, boasting incredible visuals and a sleek design. It has significantly improved my digital experience, making both work and entertainment truly immersive and enjoyable.
Logitech MX Masters keyboard
This keyboard seamlessly pairs with my MacBook, effortlessly connects to multiple devices, and boasts a seemingly endless battery life.
Logitech MX Masters mouse
The keyboard is a clear choice, and the same holds true for its compatibility, even though I primarily rely on my MacBook's trackpad for navigation, as its gestures remain unmatched.
Development tools
VS Code
I’ve been using VS Code for years and it’s still the best editor. There is no reason to experiment with other editors until VS Code can do everything what I need.
iTerm2 with Oh My Zsh
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.
Docker
After experiencing the advantages of Docker, managing non-Docker projects with varying versions became cumbersome. Docker allows me to maintain consistent environments, enhance cooperation, and minimize infrastructure costs, making it an indispensable resource in my workflow.
Design
Figma
Figma is a user-friendly, browser-based design tool that enables effortless collaboration and editing. I never imagined a design software could be so intuitive and simple to use.
