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

  • MacBook Air Apple M1 8GB

    I had been using an Intel-based 16” MacBook Pro for quite some time before it suddenly broke down while I was on the road. The cause of this unfortunate incident was overheating, and I was left without a reliable computer to use. In order to fill the gap, I decided to purchase a new MacBook Air as a temporary replacement. To my pleasant surprise, the MacBook Air exceeded my expectations and proved to be a positive experience overall. Despite being a temporary solution, it performed exceptionally well and was a great investment.

  • Benq Zowie 144Hz Monitor

    I use a Benq Zowie 144 Hz monitor for a variety of reasons, but mainly because I enjoy playing video games in my spare time. The monitor provides a smooth and seamless experience while gaming, which is especially important for fast-paced games where even a slight delay can make a significant difference. In addition to gaming, I also use the monitor for general productivity tasks, such as writing and coding, which are made easier by the high refresh rate and sharp image quality.

  • Custom Mechanical Light Blue shifts Keyboard

    I built a custom mechanical keyboard. This keyboard is a 60% light blue shift keyboard and I am proud to say that I crafted it myself. The keyboard is designed to be both functional and comfortable. I believe that having a comfortable keyboard is essential for productivity, as it can help prevent fatigue and strain on the hands and wrists.

  • Logitech ultra light

    I use the Logitech Ultra Light mouse, which is a highly convenient and practical device for daily use. Its ultra-lightweight design makes it easy to carry around and use on-the-go, while its responsive buttons and smooth scroll wheel allow for efficient browsing and work

Tools

  • Jetbrains

    When it comes to my choice of Integrated Development Environments, I find myself consistently drawn to the offerings from JetBrains. Their IDEs are highly intuitive and offer a wide range of features that allow me to streamline my workflow and increase my productivity. From their powerful code completion capabilities to their robust debugging tools, JetBrains IDEs have become an indispensable part of my development toolkit

  • Hyper

    I use Hyper, a free and open source terminal emulator that offers a customizable and modern interface. With its built-in plugins and support for multiple tabs, Hyper allows for seamless navigation and organization of tasks. Additionally, Hyper offers a range of themes and color schemes, making it easy to personalize the user experience.

  • Notion

    I use Notion, a digital workspace tool that allows me to organize my tasks, notes, and projects in a single platform. With Notion, I can create custom databases, set reminders, and collaborate with team members. Not only that, but I can also use it to plan my daily schedule, write articles, and even manage my personal finances.

  • Discord

    I often use Discord to communicate and collaborate with my team members. This allows us to easily share ideas and information, discuss strategies, and stay connected even when we are not physically in the same location. Additionally, using Discord allows us to take advantage of various features such as screen sharing, voice chat, and video calls, all of which can enhance our productivity and make our teamwork more effective.
