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.

Workstation

  • 14” MacBook Pro, M2 Pro, 16GB RAM (2023)

    I used to be a windows person but I switched to macOS for the ecosystem and I’m never going back. I’m not sure what I’d do without the Unix shell.

Development tools

  • VS Code

    I’ve tried them all but I keep coming back to VS Code.

  • GitKraken

    I use GitKraken to visualize my Git repositories and manage my commits.

  • tmux

    I’m not sure how I ever lived without tmux. It’s the best way to manage terminal windows and sessions.

  • TablePlus

    Good database management tool that’s fast and easy to use.

Design

  • Figma

    I’m not a designer but I use Figma for everything from designing user interfaces to creating social media graphics.

Productivity

  • Journal App

    I use a journal app to write down my thoughts and keep track of my goals.
