Uses

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

  • ASUS TUF F15

    Switched from a MacBook Pro and I'm blown away. This beast handles our launch simulations without breaking a sweat. The fans are so quiet, I sometimes forget they exist.

  • MSI PRO MP223

    When you're coding at galactic scale, every pixel matters. This monitor is the holy grail of HiDPI displays over 27". It's like having the universe at your fingertips.

  • Ubuntu 24

    The latest Ubuntu is like a finely tuned racing car for developers. It's blazing fast, rock-solid stable, and comes with all the tools I need pre-installed. Plus, it makes my TUF F15 feel like it's from the future.

Development tools

  • VS Code

    Sure, it's packed with features, but sometimes I miss the raw speed and simplicity of Sublime. Still, for collaborative coding and its extensive plugin ecosystem, VS Code is my go-to.

  • NeoVim + Lazyvim

    Vim purists might scoff, but NeoVim with Lazyvim is like coding at the speed of thought. It's Vim on steroids, and once you go lazy, you never go back.

  • Warp terminal

    Forget everything you know about terminals. Warp is like stepping into a sci-fi movie. It's blazing fast, AI-powered, and makes my command-line work feel like piloting a spaceship.

Design

  • Figma

    As a developer who occasionally needs to tweak designs, Figma is a godsend. It's collaborative, web-based, and doesn't make me want to pull my hair out like some other design tools.

Productivity

  • Todoist

    In the chaos of coding, Todoist keeps me sane. It's simple, syncs everywhere, and doesn't try to outsmart me with fancy AI features I'll never use.

  • Bitwarden

    Open-source, secure, and works everywhere. Bitwarden is like having a Swiss Army knife for passwords. It's a lifesaver when juggling dozens of API keys and logins.

  • Slack

    Love it or hate it, Slack is where the dev chatter happens. It's not perfect, but it beats digging through endless email threads for that one crucial piece of info.
