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 M1 (2020)

    I was using a MacBook Air M1 2020 I did all my activities using this laptop.

  • iPhone 12

    I was using a iPhone 12 which I use as my daily driver.

Development tools

  • Visual Studio Code

    Visual Studio Code is the best text editor ever made.

  • DBeaver

    DBeaver Community is a free and open-source universal database tool for developers, SQL programmers, database administrators, and analysts.

  • MAMP

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

  • Docker

    Docker is a containerization platform that enables developers to package applications and their dependencies into standardized units called containers.

  • Git

    Git is a distributed version control system widely used in software development to track changes in source code during the development process.

Design

  • Figma

    I started using Figma as just a design tool but now it’s become virtual whiteboard for the entire company. Never would have expected the collaboration features to be the real hook.
