Uses
My frequently used tools
Hardware
- 2019 16" MacBook Pro (Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM and 500 GB SSD)
A good computer with a real Escape key, after all these years with a fake touchscreen one. - Dell U2518D Monitor
A big screen for big code. - Autonomous AI ErgoChair 2 (disclaimer: contains a referral ID, gives you a discount)
I think they recently renamed this to be ErgoChair Pro but it's a good chair. - Fully's Remi Standing Desk
I sit a lot, so having a desk that easily goes from sitting to standing is really helpful. - ErGear Dual Monitor Arms
Frees up some space on my desk with easily adjusted positions, good stuff. - Sony MDR-XB50AP in-ear headphones
Simple, reliable earbuds for "casual" audio listening, and useful for video meetings. - Sony MDR-XB950N1 over-ear headphones
Quality earphones for more "focused" listening, with noise-cancelling. - Novation Launchkey 37 MIDI keyboard
I made music a lot in the past, and this little toy is great to slowly get back into it!
Software
- Mozilla Firefox
I've been using Firefox since version 3 or something, and it's never disappointed me โ love the CSS DevTools! (especially for flex/grid) - Visual Studio Code
Love how powerful and customisable this editor is! I notably use these extensions:- SynthWave '84: A beautiful neon-infused theme by Robb Owens that is exactly my vibe (text glow is turned off, though!).
- JetBrains Mono: I've tried all the hyped developer fonts, and I keep coming back to this one, with ligatures turned off because they do not help me at all.
- Prettier: Keeps all my code harmoniously formatted, and when you make a syntax mistake you'll know as your code doesn't auto-format!
- VisuBezier: My own CSS easing function preview tool, pretty useful when writing
cubic-bezier()
by hand that I want to quickly verify without leaving VS Code.
- Adobe Illustrator
I love working with vectors! I optimise my work with SVGOMG and then manually tweak them to be just right. - Fork
A little git GUI that helps me avoid making big mistakes. - ImageOptim
Beautiful tool to compress images better, you won't regret it.
