Tools and gadgets in use.

Here’s a big list of all of the things I build with.

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. Apple kinda cooked here, not gonna lie.

  • Apple Studio Display

    Totally splurged on this one. I’m a sucker for a good display, and this one does not disappoint.

  • Varmilo Minilo 75% with Kailh Presitge Silent Switches

    Best keyboard I’ve ever used. Makes typing a delight. Purchase inspired by DHH’s blog post on mechanical keyboards.

  • Apple Magic Trackpad

    Something about all the gestures makes me feel like a wizard with special powers. I really like that feeling.

  • Herman Miller Sayl Chair

    Might as well sit in a chair that’s designed to be comfortable.

Development tools

  • Cursor

    Obviously.

  • Claude Code

    Best agentic AI coding tool I’ve used.

  • Promptfoo

    Best package for evals out there.

Design

  • Figma

    Another obvious choice.

Productivity

  • Notion

    Pretty decent docs platform, waiting to try one that is better.

  • Jira

    Because I have to.
