Workstation
Asus Zenbook 14 OLED
My go-to for both on-the-go work and at-home productivity. It handles all of my coding needs with ease. The compact form factor makes it perfect for travel, while still providing enough screen real estate for comfortable daily use.
49" Odyssey OLED G93SC Curved Monitor
Got rid of my three 24" monitors and got this. 240HZ, OLED, 0.03ms response, must anything else be said.
Higround Performance 65 Keyboard
The 65% layout is perfect for my workflow, offering a compact design without sacrificing essential keys.
Secretlab TITAN Evo
Can definitely find cheaper chairs that are the same or better quality, but I've had this for years and it's still going strong. Premium build quality and durability make it a worthwhile investment for anyone spending extended hours at their desk.
Development Tools
Development Tools
Cursor
Recently switched from VS Code. The built-in AI helps me write code faster, explain complex functions, and even refactor entire components. I've been using Claude 3.5 Sonnet and it's been amazing, better than GitHub Copilot so far.
Ubuntu (WSL)
I should probably just switch to Linux permanently, but using Ubuntu via WSL in Windows Terminal has been doing me fine - pairing it with fish shell autocomplete and aliases speeds up my workflow significantly.
Thunder Client
Lightweight version of Postman that's built into VSCode, nothing else comes close 🤷‍♂️
Biome
Not exactly a tool, but thought I'd mention that I'm using Biome as my linter/formatter over prettier on all my projects now. It's insanely fast and the default configuration is already great.

Figma
The powerful design capabilities for when I'm wireframing ideas or designing interface layouts make it indispensable for both quick mockups and detailed designs. The ability to create reusable components and easily share prototypes with clients has streamlined my design workflow significantly.

Obsidian
Perfect for organizing thoughts, research, and project documentation. The Zettelkasten method is a game changer, and Obsidian makes it so makes it so easy to keep all of my notes in one place.Check out this highly recommended video
Toggl
Mostly used when consulting and charging billable hours (or to see how long something takes). The collaborative features are great for managing projects and sharing time entries with my business partner.
Slack
100x better than Teams.
