Tools
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.

16" MacBook Pro, M1 Max, 32GB RAM
I was using an Intel-based 15" Dell XPS 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 various builds.
LG 32" 4K UHD Monitor
I use this monitor for work and it is a beast.
Logitech MX Master 4
Logitech hits it out of the park as always! Sleek, stylish, and comfortable for long hours of work. So smooth and precise, you'll wonder how you ever used anything else.
Herman Miller Aeron
If I'm going to slouch in the worst ergonomic position imaginable all day, I might as well do it in a classic.
Development
AI in My Workflow
Codex
I use Codex to work through changes across a codebase, review pull requests, debug issues, and run checks. It also helps with the work around the code, from research to updating this site.
Claude
A thinking partner for working through problems, shaping ideas, and writing. Useful when I want to talk through an approach or get another perspective.
Cursor
For AI-assisted edits while I'm working directly in the editor. Handy for moving between code, suggestions, and changes without breaking my flow.
Productivity
Dia Browser
My everyday browser now. I switched from Arc to Dia.
Notion
Notion is like a personal assistant that makes you look good, even if you're actually a hot mess.
Google Calendar
I would be lost without this baddie.
Raycast
Spotlight on steroids. Launching apps, snippets, clipboard history, window management, all without ever leaving the keyboard.
Apple Music
Blasting Burna Boy, Anavitória, Vitor Kley and Dylan Gossett on full volume keeps me focused and pumped!
