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

  • HP Victus Gaming PC, i7 7th Gen, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD

    Prior, I used a Macbook Pro '17 , Added Victus to the mix

  • HP 27F FHD (2018)

    I didn't want to dual boot OS's thus added another PC to facilitate Linux distros.

  • 13' MacBook Pro, i5, 8GB RAM (2017)

    Prior, I used a Dell Inspiron 7000 with Manjaro Distro, the main difference is the MacOS convenience

  • HP 27F FHD (2018)

    I use one monitor for now, but I’m planning on getting a second one.
    Due to heavy usage it died, motherboard fried, moed to next.

Development tools

  • Sublime Text 4

    I don’t care if it’s missing all of the fancy IDE features everyone else relies on. Sublime Text is fast, lightweight.

  • iTerm2

    I’m honestly not even sure what features I get with this that aren’t just part of the macOS Terminal but it’s what I use.

  • TablePlus (Free version)

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