Tools I Use
Hardware
- Laptop: Macbook Air (13.6-inch, 2022, Apple M2 Chip, 24GB RAM)
- Various monitors if I need a larger screen
- Keyboard: Dygma Raise
- Mouse: Logitech Wireless Mouse M320
- Wireless headphones: AirPods Pro, Sony WH-1000XM4
Editor
- VS Code most of the time
- I use Noctis Lilac theme write now, but that changes often/
- Sublime Text and Vim for random edits
Software
- 1Password
- Github
- Raycast - used with some extensions for VS Code and terminal
- Transmit
- TablePlus
- Warp - a fast terminal emulator I use with oh-my-zsh.

- Spark - good for organizing incoming email
- Ulysses - for writing blog posts
- Various mind-mapping tools for ideas.
Away from Work
To keep myself balanced, I try to stay away from my laptop after work hours or on weekends, especially while I am traveling. I take an Ipad (2022 10.2in) during these times, so I can still read the news or play games. I take a Logitech K380 bluetooth keyboard for when writing inspiration hits; it's a lot easier than the keyboard on the screen and the keys feel nice and solid.
