Tools of the trade.

Workstation

• 16” MacBook Pro, x86, 64GB RAM (2019)

  It's not a studio, but it'll do.

• PD3220U｜32-inch 4K UHD P3 Thunderbolt 3 Mac® Compatible Designer Monitor

  One cable to rule them all. Great color, well made, and tons of screen real estate.

• Keychron K4 Keyboard

  I have gone through a lot of keyboards. This one is the best I've found. It's got a great feel, and the bluetooth connection is solid. I've had it for a year and a half and it's still going strong.

• Logitech MX Master 3

  Best mouse I've ever used. Comfortable, precise, and the battery lasts forever.

• Herman Miller Aeron Chair

  I bought this chair used 10 years ago and it's holding up well. I recently switched to a standing desk for most of the day

Development tools

• Visual Studio Code

  The last editor I'll ever need.

• iTerm2

  I've tried others, but keep coming back to it.

• Beekeeper Studio

  For lightweight database work and ad-hoc querying.

Diagramming

• Excalidraw

  Best tool for quickly sketching out diagrams.

• Mermaid

  When the diagrams need to be committed with the codebase, mermaid is my go-to.

Productivity

• Raycast

  Spotlight replacement that gets things done.

• Moom / Magnet

  Better window management for macOS. Might sunset these if I get my Raycast workflow to a good spot
