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.
