What I use
A list of hardware and software I use daily as a software developer.
Inspired by uses.tech.
Workstation
Mac Studio
Primary desktop machine. M1 MAX with a 10-Core CPU and 64 GB RAM.
MacBook Pro
Work machine. 2023 M3 Pro. This thing is a beast.
MacBook Air
Secondary or travelling laptop. 2020 M1 with 16 GB RAM. I love this thing but I don't really use it much anymore.
PC
Custom built AMD Ryzen 7 with GeForce RTX 3070 Ti. Used for Windows testing, gaming and has a Linux partition for fun.
Logitech Mouse & Keyboard
MX Master 3 for mouse and MX Keys Mini for keyboard. The latter isn't my favourite, but it switches flawlessly between all computers.
Monitors
DELL UltraSharp U2412M 27" alongside an ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ. Both attached with Invision PC monitor arms.
Jarvis desk
Large standing desk from Fully with an Oak top and a Razer Strider XXL mouse mat.
Herman Miller Aeron Chair
Yes it's expensive. Yes it's worth every penny.
Audio & Video
iPhone Continuity Camera
I used to have a Logitech Brio Webcam, but the iPhone camera is just way better.
Blue Yeti Microphone
With a MINTHE cover and attached to a RØDE PSA1 arm.
AirPods Pro
My absolute favourite earbuds.
Sony WH-1000XM3 Headphones
The best noise cancelling wireless headphones I've tried. Used when I really need to shut off the world.
Audioengine A2+
Wireless Bluetooth speakers attached to my desktop machine.
SoundMAGIC Earbuds
Noise isolating wired earbuds attached to my PC. Excellent for gaming.
Development tools
VSCode
I still use VIM a lot, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't open all new projects in VSCode.
macOS built-in Terminal
I keep being told to use a fancier terminal. Stop it.
