Uses

The hardware, software, and kitchen tools I actually reach for. No affiliate links, no sponsored picks — just what's on the desk, the counter, and the gym bag.

Editor

  • VS Code — with Vim mode, the Stripe theme, and one extension I refuse to live without (Error Lens)
  • Geist Mono — in the editor
  • iTerm2 + zsh — starship prompt

Hardware

  • MacBook Pro 14" — M3 Pro, 36GB
  • Studio Display — external monitor
  • Keychron K3 Pro — low-profile, brown switches
  • Apple Magic Trackpad — I've given up on mice
  • AirPods Pro — for everything

Software I'd pay for again tomorrow

  • Linear — for personal task tracking too
  • 1Password — obvious
  • Cleanshot X — screenshots that actually look intentional
  • Raycast — Spotlight replacement; the calculator alone is worth it
  • Things 3 — the only to-do app I've ever stuck with

Browser

  • Arc — primary
  • Safari — secondary, for when Arc is being Arc

Build tools

  • Next.js + Tailwind — this site
  • Bun — increasingly, for scripts
  • GitHub Actions — for CI

Kitchen

  • Vitamix 5200 — the pesto blender
  • Lodge cast-iron 12" — the everything pan
  • OXO digital scale — the most-used tool in the kitchen
  • Microplane — for parmesan, garlic, citrus zest
  • A cheap Wüsthof 8" chef's knife — sharpened often, replaced rarely

Gym

  • Garmin Venu Sq — HRV + sleep tracking
  • Hampton chalk — I will die on this hill
