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

  • 13” MacBook Air, Dual-Core Intel Core i5, 2017

    It is a 13-inch MacBook Air laptop from 2017 with a 1.8GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, 128GB SSD, 8GB memory, and long battery life.

  • Dell Monitor

    High-quality display screen with great resolutions and sleek designs, featuring ergonomic features. It supports both HDMI and Type C.

  • Keychron K8 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard

    Keychron K8 Tenkeyless Wireless Mechanical Keyboard has included keycaps for both Windows and macOS, and users can hotswap every switch in seconds with the hot-swappable version.

  • Logitech M720 Triathlon

    The Logitech M720 Triathlon is a wireless mouse that can connect to multiple devices via Bluetooth or USB, has great battery life, and allows easy switching between connected devices.

Development tools

  • Zed

    Zed is a high-performance, multiplayer code editor from the creators of Atom and Tree-sitter.

  • warp

    Warp is a modern, Rust-based terminal with AI built in so you and your team can build great software, faster.

  • supabase

    Great software for working with databases. Has saved me from building about a thousand admin interfaces for my various projects over the years.

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
