Things I Use

I thought I'd write down a few trinkets and more useful tools I'm a fan of in my day-to-day.

Workstation

  • 13” MacBook Pro, M1, 16GB RAM (2020)

    My personal machine is a late 2019 16" MacBook Pro and the difference between it and my work machine, the 2020 M1 MPB, is night and day.

  • Samsung J791 Series 34-Inch Ultrawide QHD (3440x1440)

    I recently upgraded to an ultrawide monitor since the 2020 M1 macs can only drive one external display. I'm enjoying it more than the more cumbersome two monitor set-up I had before.

  • OLKB Planck Keyboard

    I've built a few keyboards and let my now 14 month old son slam his fists on a few... the keyboard that has stood the test of his manual QA (read: the one I have left to use) is the first board I soldered, a Planck 40% ortholinear layout.

  • Logitech MX Master 2S Wireless Mouse

    I don't think I'll use another mouse again.

  • Capisco Chair by HÅG

    It's comfortable, has a nice foot rest and is easy to transition between sitting and standing heights.

Development tools

  • Microsoft's Visual Studio Code

    I use dark theme GitHub Dark Dimmed combined with SF Mono.

  • iTerm2

    I've been using it almost since the day I started programming.

  • Insomnia

    A REST client for MacOS.

  • Dash

    A Mac app that gives you offline access to 200+ API documentation sets.
