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
13” MacBook Air, M3, 16GB RAM (2023)
I chose the MacBook Air for its unbeatable UNIX-based experience. The 8GB RAM felt restrictive, so I upgraded to 16GB, and 256GB of storage? Not enough—512GB it is. It's a lightweight dev setup that keeps me happy... most of the time.
GIGABYTE GS34WQC 34 VA Curved Monitor
A perfect ultrawide for both work and gaming, featuring 3440x1440 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and excellent color accuracy with sRGB 120%.
Keychron Q1 QMK Custom Mechanical Keyboard
Equipped with Gateron Pro Brown switches for that perfect clicky sound—because working without a satisfying keystroke is just not an option.
Logitech MX Master 3 Mouse
Ergonomic, efficient, and packed with features that make scrolling through endless lines of code a breeze.
Featherlite Helix High Back Chair
Amazing cushioning with just the right amount of customization to keep me comfortable while slouching in terrible postures.
Development tools
Cursor
Switched to Cursor for its AI agent composer features, although I do miss IntelliJ sometimes.
Ghostty Terminal
A sleek and fast terminal with custom shader support that makes working in the command line even cooler.
Browser
Arc (for now)
It was great while it lasted, but they dropped support, so I'm on the lookout for a worthy replacement.
Second Brain
Obsidian
My go-to for dumping everything. The Obsidian web clipper makes storing links ridiculously easy while browsing.
