Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.

This page is is inspired by Wes Bos’s /uses page and is a list of software, gadgets, and tools that I use on a daily basis.

Workstation

  • 16” MacBook Pro, M4 Pro, 24GB RAM (2024)

    I had a 2019 Intel MacBook, then a 2021 M1 MacBook Pro, and here I am with the latest and greatest. I need Apple to come out with a subscription service so I can get the newest version as they come out every year 😅.

  • Magic Keyboard with Touch ID and Numeric Keypad

    The keys are low and satisfying to type on, the touch ID is a nice convenience, and the keypad (for me) is a must.

  • Magic Mouse

    It’s nice that it’s in the Apple ecosystem, but I’ve had much better; lucky for me I type more than I move with the mouse.

Development tools

  • Visual Studio Code

    This isn't as quick as Vim, or full-fledged like a big IDE, but I really like the balance of tooling, speed, and convenience. Used to use SublimeText before this.

  • Default MacOS Terminal with Zsh

    Basic MacOS terminal - I can change directories, list (ls) them, remove items/directories. I don't need anything else.
