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, M1 Pro, 16GB RAM (2021)

    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.

Development tools

  • Neovim

    "i use neovim, btw" - some guy with a mustache

  • Warp

    I’ve been using Warp for a few months now and it’s been a game changer. this terminal app is the best way to manage multiple projects and servers.

  • Arc

    A Web Browser for Developers. I’ve been using Arc for a few months now and it’s been a game changer.

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

  • Notion

    I’ve been using Notion for a few years now and it’s been a game changer. I use it for everything from note-taking to project management.
