My tools I use. functional. practical. probably second hand.

For those looking to compare apples to apples - your apples are better. While my mouth salivates at the idea of a Herman Miller setup, saner heads pervail. For now...

Workstation

  • 15” MacBook Pro, i7, 16gb ram (2017)

    I live by the if it ain't broke don't fix it philosophy. Originally, a hand-me-down from my mom. I have spent the last 3 years coding with it, and hope to get a few more out of it.

  • LG UltaFine 5k 27"

    This is one gorgeous monitor. As my fiance says you can see every freckle and crease in a person's skin. Originally, purchased off Craigslist it worked great for the first year. Now it has a dead line of pixels down the middle.

  • Logitech MX Mini Keys

    While the old me considered switch colors like political parties. The new me takes a simpler approach. Hot keys? check. tactile key stroke? check. Long battery life? check.

  • SHW Automatic Standing Desk

    Nice automatic standing desk, that has never been risen in the time I own it.

  • Poppin Task Chair

    Purchased 4 of them off craigslist for $100, sold 3 for $80 each. Now I have a comfy chair and an extra $140 in my pocket.

Development tools

  • VS Code

    Having struggled to close VIM enough times. VS Code allows me to work any type of project, from VR to mobile to web. A true craftsman never blames his tools.

  • iTerm2

    It adds some pretty colors and cool layouts. If you got any tips or tricks for iTerm2 hit me up!

Design

  • Figma

    I have used a variety of design tools, but my personal favorite is figma. A good free tier for the solo guy like myself, but with enough features to handle even the largest projects.
