Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.
I sometimes get asked about the things I use to build software, stay productive, or buy to fool myself into thinking I'm being productive... Here's a list of all my favorite stuff.
Workstation
SecretLab Titan Chair
With this chair, I'm able to sit there and code for hours, and it helps me to stay focused.
16” M3 MacBook Pro 2023
This is my new shiny work macbook, ready to handle everyload.
Two Acer Predator XB253QGP, 24”, 144Hz
I don't like to swipe wildly around to find the window I need, so I've got three screens to keep a better overview.
Logitech MX Keys Mini (US Int)
I'm a huge fan of Logitech products, and this keyboard is a pleasure. It also supports multiple devices and operating systems, and you can switch by pressing a button.
Logitech MX Master 3
If you have an external keyboard, its annoying to always move your hand back to your trackpad, so an external mouse is a must-have.
14” MacBook Pro, M1 Pro, 16GB RAM (2021)
This is my personal one and the difference to the Intel-based MacBooks is night and day. I've never heard the fans turn on a single time, and the battery just lasts forever.
Design
ExcaliDraw
I love everything about ExcaliDraw. Just a beautiful, simple and fast tool to visualize anything and make it look like a drawing.
Figma
When I have to make a click prototype or a wireframe, or I'm just messing around, Figma has me covered.
Development tools
IntelliJ Products
I'm using a lot of IntelliJ IDE's, because of their smart tiny features that lighten up your developer day.
NeoVim
Currently I'm trying again with vim, and for small things it works quite well. But there are still many shortcuts that I need to memorize.
VS Code
For small file changes, I usually don't want to fire up a heavy IDE.
Warp
A new terminal I recently discovered, It feels like Jupyter Notebook, but for the terminal. Completely switched over from iTerm2.
