Favorite things I use

I get asked a lot about the things I use to build software and stay productive. Here's a big list of all of my favorite stuff.

01Workstation

Hardware on my desk right now.

14" MacBook Pro (M2 Max, 64GB, 2023)
Primary dev and writing machine. Extra CPU/RAM keeps many apps open without slowing down.
LG UltraWide 34WK95U-W (34", 5K2K)
Main display for side-by-side work. One TB3 cable powers and declutters the desk.
Logitech Ergo K860
Daily keyboard for long sessions. Split layout and wrist rest keep hands relaxed.
Logitech MX Vertical
Ergonomic mouse for all-day use. Vertical grip keeps my wrist neutral and cuts fatigue.

02Audio

Headphones, mics, and setups I will document soon.

AirPods Pro 3 (2025)
Daily earbuds for calls and focus. Strong ANC and seamless Apple handoff across devices.

03Development

Tools I live in while building and shipping software.

Herdr
Native app for running coding agents. One sidebar shows which agent is working, done, or waiting on me.
CleanShot X
Screenshot and recording tool with polished annotations and reliable scrolling capture.

04Productivity

Software that keeps me shipping words and work.

Claude Code + Codex
My AI pair for coding. I use both for drafts and refactors.
Setapp
Utility bundle. Covers Bartender, iStat Menus, Paletro, CleanMyMac, Sip, more.

05Reading

Newsletters and series I keep up with.
