Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.

Here is a list of some of the things that help me stay productive.

Workstation

  • 16” MacBook Pro, M1 Max, 64GB RAM (2022)

    I was using an Apple-silicon 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 on a daily basis.

  • Samsung 22" LED Monitor

    Typical LED monitor, in need of an upgrade.

  • Apple Magic Trackpad

    Unparalleled wireless headphone experience, from magical setup to high-quality sound.

  • Apple air pods

    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

    Best IDE.

Design

  • Figma

    We started using Figma as just a design tool but now it’s become our virtual whiteboard for the entire company. Never would have expected the collaboration features to be the real hook.

Productivity

  • Alfred

    Alfred is a productivity application for macOS, which boosts your efficiency with hotkeys, keywords and text expansion.
