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.
