Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.

Workstation

  • 14” MacBook Pro, M1 Max, 32GB RAM (2021)

    Love this machine and even after 4 years, it's still running everything I throw at it. At times, I'm certainly missing a slightly larger screen.

  • Corne v4.1

    The Corne with HMX Xinhai switches is the most recent addition. I missed the feeling and variety of MX switches after using choc switches with the ZSA Voyager for a while. The Xinhai are light enough to comfortable type on without getting exhausted and I'm exicted by their sound whenever I type.

  • Logitech MX Master 3S

    Ergonomic and silent. Nothing more to say. I can't use trackpads, so a good mouse is non-negotiable.

Development tools

  • Neovim

    No contest. Fell in love with vim bindings and tried neovim as the more "modern" version. I'm immediately happy whenever I use it.

  • Ghostty

    Great native and fast terminal emulator with easy configuration and all the features I need.

Programming Languages

  • Go

    Amazingly productive language. Although a bit boring to use (and where are my enums?)

  • Typescript

    Your standard language that anyone working in any kind of web development should know.

  • Python

    I've mostly used Python for my work around Data Science and small scripts.

  • Rust

    Rust's syntax fascinated me from the first moment I saw it on Jon Gjengset's stream. Learning Rust is currently a work in progress.

  • Elixir

    Another work in progress. I was interested in learning a functional language and users of Elixir raved about the developer experience. How could I not try it? Phoenix and Liveview look very interesting as well, so let's see how this one goes.

Other

  • Monarch

    Using this all the time! Search, custom search engines, integrated clipboard history and more. Don't want to miss this and it's one of the first things I install on a new Mac. I've previously used Alfred instead, but on my work machine the search started up slowly which caused issue. Haven't experienced this with Monarch yet.

  • Little Snitch

    The first thing I install on any new machine. Monitoring and controlling network traffic with the option of having multiple profiles for home or travel is something I never want to miss again!

  • Zen

    Great browser based on Firefox. I'm a big fan of the split screen.
