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
14” MacBook Pro, M4 Pro, 18GB RAM (2024)
I was using an Intel-based 16” 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.
Noir Spade65 Orange Switch
Love the 65% layout of this keyboard. I’m a simple man, it let me code seamlessly and get the job done.
Logitech M3
When you need to read a long codebase, this mouse is a lifesaver. I can’t imagine using anything else without side scrolling.
Development tools
Jetbrains (Intellij Idea, Goland, Datagrip)
Most people argue that Vscode is the best IDE, but I guess I am to attached with all the integrated feature offered by Jetbrains IDE
Warp
One of the best terminal that ever exist. The interface, the auto-completion, and AI integration. It just made my life so much easier and
Postman & Apifox
Great tools for API testing and debugging. I use Postman since the beginning, but Apifox is a great alternative with more features, It’s a Postman + Swagger + Mock + JMeter.
