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

  • Custom PC (2018), Intel i7 7700k, Nvidia RTX 3090, 64GB DDR4 RAM, 1000 W Power supply

    My custom PC has been my bread and butter for a while. The specs are from a long time of owning and upgrading my computer.

  • Samsung Crg9 Ultrawide display 120hz

    This display lets me have just one screen but it can act like two which couldnt make me any happier.

  • Custom Glorious Gaming Keyboard

    My custom keyboard was built to be extremely silent. I chose the Gateron Silent Red switches as well as lubed all the keys to ensure minimal sound from typing. Basically I am a loud typer so I wanted to reduce that with the keyboard.

  • Razer Viper Ulitimate Hyperspeed Lightweight Mouse

    This mouse is absurdly light and I just love how I could drag around with it if I am playing a game or if I am playing bullet chess, it does not feel like I am holding anything at all.

  • Herman Miller Sayl Chair

    I am in love with this chair and it frankly makes up most of the aesthetic

Development tools

  • Neovim (NvChad)

    This is a suite of plugins for an already amazing IDE that are added onto nvim that I absolutely love and cant really go back to any other IDE since it works so well and is pretty efficient.

  • Arch Linux

    I dont want to be that guy... but I run Arch btw but I am that guy. Just started using this instead of ubuntu for my WSL installation and I do enjoy using pacman more than apt-get. Plus their wiki is just insane.

Design

  • Figma

    Figma has been really useful if I want to design something really quick like a basic wireframe. Other than that I rarely ever use this.

Productivity

  • Notion

    I use this for practially everything in my life. From setting up the weekly workouts, to to-do lists, to my recipe book, this has all of the organization that I would need and no I do not consider it a second brain but it is very useful.
