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

I love to buy things and try to use them until I find something that works. Here's a list of all the things I currently use and recommend.

Workstation

  • 16” MacBook Pro, M1 Max, 64GB RAM (2021)

    I was using an M1 13” MacBook Pro prior to this and the difference is night and day. I've never heard the fans turn on a single time, even under the incredibly heavy loads I put it through with our various launch simulations.

  • LG 49WQ95C-W 49” 1440p 144Hz Curved Ultrawide Monitor

    I've been using two 27" 1440p monitors for a long time, but I switched to a 49" ultrawide like three weeks ago and it's been a game changer. It's like two 27" monitors in one, and what really makes the difference is that you can use the middle section.

  • Samsung Odyssey G50A 27” 1440p 165Hz G-Sync Curved Gaming Monitor

    I have to be honest, I don't need this monitor's 165Hz refresh rate, but I was playing Warzone in my free time and I wanted to have a competitive advantage. I'm still suck at the game, but I feel like I see the world differently now, and the combination with the 49" ultrawide is amazing.

  • Moonlander Mark I Mechanical Keyboard

    When I started working remotely, I was using a Magic Keyboard and a Magic Trackpad. I quickly learned that I was putting more strain on my wrists and neck, and I was not as productive. I bought the Moonlander Mark I and even if it was not a cheap keyboard, it was the best $365 I've spent on myself. The downside is that it took me like three months to get used to it.

  • Logitech MX Master 3 Mouse

    I've been using the MX Master 3 for a long time and it's still the best mouse I've ever used.

  • Logitech Brio Webcam

    I've been using the Logitech Brio and it has a great relationship between price and quality.

  • Logitech Litra Glow Smart LED Desk Light

    I've been using the Logitech Litra Glow Smart LED Desk Light and it's great for calls and video recordings.

  • Apple AirPods Pro

    Their are great, and beautiful. But I can't say that they are the best headphones I've ever used. The Sony WH-1000XM3 are more or less the same and are way cheaper.

Development tools

  • Cursor

    I've been using Cursor for a long time and it's still the best AI assistant for writing code. I'm a vim user, so I don't like using IDEs, but Cursor is integration with AI is something that is hard to beat.

  • Warp Terminal

    I've been using Warp Terminal and for me, that is what I'm not good at remembering commands it has saved me a lot of time.

  • LazyVim

    LazyVim is a community-driven plugin for Neovim that makes it easy to get started with a modern and powerful development environment. I'm still using Neovim when I can and LazyVim makes it even better.
