Uses
Software, tools, and things I use and recommend.
Hardware
14” MacBook Pro
I'm an Apple fanboy and I love this laptop. It's the perfect size and it's super powerful. Battery life is great and it stays cool even when I'm running a million things at once.
Vortex Pok3r 60% Keyboard
I love this keyboard so much I have two of them. At first I was worried about the lack of buttons and the small size, but with layers and mappings I can do everything at lightning speed.
Razer DeathAdder v2 Gaming Mouse
I've mapped the buttons to do things like switch spaces, open Mission Control, and switch between apps. If you haven't tried a gaming mouse for development, you're missing out.
Development tools
Visual Studio Code
I've used Sublime Text, PHPStorm, Vim, and everything in between. Visual Studio Code is my favorite. It's fast, has a ton of great plugins, and is super customizable.
iTerm2
A hotkey to quickly toggle your terminal is a game changer.
Kaleidoscope
Fantastic diff tool that easily integrates with Git.
Bruno
A relatively new tool that I've been using for a bit. It's a replacement for Postman and I'm loving it.
Productivity
1Password
I can't imagine my life without 1Password. It's a must-have.
Arc from The Browser Company
Honestly, I don't know what I'd do without Arc. It's a fantastic browser that's got a ton of great features.
Alfred
I've been using Alfred for years. I have so many custom workflows and actions that make my life so much easier.
BetterTouchTool
Another app that without it, I'd be lost.
Fantastical
Great calendar app that I use on all my devices. Adding events via natural language is such a time saver.
Notion
I use Notion for everything. Basically my second brain.
