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. Here’s a big list of all of my favorite stuff.
Workstation
13” MacBook Pro, M1, 32GB RAM (2015)
I was using an Intel-based 13” 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 with our various launch simulations.
Asus KG241Q
Just the 2nd muonitor I caught on promotion.
Keychron K2 B1
Keyboard with a very pleasant sound ( known from ASMR videos), fully customizable. I highly recommend it if someone appreciates the comfort of using a keyboard, for some it may be a bit noisy. well, and it is not suitable for gaming
Logitech MX Vertical Ergonomic
Pleasant to use on a daily basis (surprisingly quickly you can get used to it), allows you to keep your wrists free of fatigue for longer with constant work
Fotel QUERSUS VAOS 501
The chair is Gaming ( so I guess it’s faster or something...) comfortable has a lot of types of adjustment. My cat seems to like it more than me
Development tools
Visual Studio Code
A cool DIE that I can customize myself a lot through a huge number of plugins
GitHub Copilot
Assistant for writing boilerplate code, it is pleasant to use it for writing classic applications ( not yet embrace the context in smart conteracts ) and repetitive code
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
It’s not the newest kid on the block but it’s still the fastest. The Sublime Text of the application launcher world.
Rize
focus tracer. very useful if you want to measure your and improve your focus at work
