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

I get asked a lot about the things I use to build software, stay productive, or buy to fool myself into thinking I’m being productive when I’m really just procrastinating. Here’s a big list of all of my favorite stuff.

Workstation

  • Custom PC - Ryzen 3900X, 32GB RAM, 5TB SSD Space, RTX 3070

    I was forced to work with a Macbook at onvista, but since I left there I've been working with my personal machine and can now also run two Docker instances at the same time.

  • Gigabyte M28U and two additional 1080p displays

    Some say that more than one monitor is unnecessary. I see it differently, because I can test websites on 1080p, 1440p, 2160p and with matte as well as glossy display. And you can have three times as many windows open, which also has its advantages.

  • Glorious GMMK2 96%

    Probably one of the best keyboards on the market. I have unlubricated Lynx switches and the Nebula keycaps. Add the Nebula coiled cable and voilà, the keyboard costs more than my monthly car payment.

  • Autonomous ErgoChair Pro

    I sit in the chair for more than 10 hours a day. Actually, the only thing missing is a massage function.

Development tools

  • VS Code

    Best Code Editor EU West

  • Windows Terminal

    The best shell interface since sliced bread.

  • Notion

    My all-in-one notes tool. I use it to take notes, build pen & paper worlds, and even planned my honeymoon with it.

Design

  • Affinity Suite

    Can do everything important that Adobe CC Suite can do, only cheaper and more performant.

  • Figma

    Cool tool for UI/UX collaboration, and then also web-based. The only thing missing is an iPad app.
