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
16” MacBook Pro, Intel i7, 16GB RAM (2019)
I was using a windows based system prior to this and haven't looked back since. Apple's eco system is unlike any other.
Herman Miller Embody 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
IDE with a plethora of extensions and support or multiple languages, it's a no brainer.
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
Free and easy to learn, Figma has been a great addition to my tools.
Productivity
Notion
Notion is great to jot down ideas and stay organized. I use it to prevent scope creep while working on projects.
Focus
Simple tool for blocking distracting websites when I need to just do the work and get some momentum going.
