Uses
These are the things I use on a day-to-day basis to get my work done.
In and around the desk
If it's a physical thing that I use it's in this list.
13" MacBook Air, M5 10-Core CPU, 10-Core GPU, 24GB RAM
I moved up from a 16" MacBook Pro w/ M1 Pro. It was a beast of a machine and still is but I wanted something smaller and more portable. That laptop was also my last bastion of GB keyboards. I've now gone all in on AU layout.
DELL - S2719DGF Quad HD 27” LED Gaming Monitor
I got this a bit for gaming and work back in the day when 1440p was the bees knees. My beloved 32in Samsung Odyssey did not survive moving house without some breaks in the screen.
A lovely, 75% layout mechanical keyboard with some heft to it and a satisfying noise when I type.
Hands down the most comfortable mouse I've ever used with just enough functionality keys. If only the multitasking paddle type button could be mapped with Mac Mouse Fix.
A run of the mill, electronic standing desk I picked up off of Amazon that, unbeknownst to me, actually extends tall enough to service my 202cm frame.
Matrix II High Back Drafting Chair Black
Being tall I like drafting chairs. They go high enough that I can sit on a chair like a regular person would on a regular chair but also I like sitting up really high with the standing desk high and resting my feet on the foot rest. It's just nice to have options.
On the computer
And if it's a bit less tangible it's in this list.
I've bounced from Sublime to Atom to Zed and back to VS Code. I'm too grounded in my extension setup now to move away. That said, VS Code's performance and extensibility are 😗👌 chef's kiss
I was sold when I saw those zeroes.
Currently the least bad browser that's serviceable for work.
My personal browser of choice.
It's a nice easy way to spin up a local (get it) WordPress site for development. There's lots of other fancy features for deploment and things I don't use.
It's a nice database GUI.
It's snappy, it seems to be getting updated regularly again so I'm all aboard.
It saves the passwords in the manager or else it gets the hose again. I will be moving off of 1Password to Apple Passwords once my billing cycle is over.
If I have to design something I do it in this. I could never get on board the Sketch train.
I don't like people seeing what I'm doing online even if it is just making websites and stuff.
