What I use to build things.

My setup is pretty simple. I don't chase the newest gear. If it works, I use it until it doesn't.

Workstation

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

    Over three years old and still doesn't break a sweat. Compiles Rust, runs Docker, handles everything I throw at it. No plans to upgrade until Apple forces my hand.This little guy is so good, I'll never be getting a windows laptop again.

  • Some 27" Asus monitor

    I don't like it. Every time there's a bit of sun I can't see anything. It's on the list to replace but I got tricked by reviews, promo and Claude so here we are.

  • Blue Yeti

    Solid mic that's lasted years. I use it for calls, video recordings, and maybe soon for dev streams.

  • Marshall Major IV

    Good sound, comfortable for long sessions, and the battery lasts forever. What more do you need? I wish you could shut down its status light though.

Development

  • VS Code

    I've tried other editors. I'm not a vim stan. It just handles everything and I don't need to figure out where's what. I do prefer Rust Rover for Move.

  • Ghostty

    Fast, minimal, has tabs, does what a terminal should do. Switched from default Terminal and haven't looked back.

  • Claude / Claude Code

    My favorite LLM for both thinking through problems and actually writing code. Claude Code has become part of my daily workflow.

  • Dispatch (coming soon)

    I'm building my own Postman alternative because I got tired of the bloat. Tauri-based, fast, native. Eating my own cooking on this one.I mean, 14 seconds to launch Postman?

Design

  • Figma

    I don't design everything before I build it (thanks shadcn) but when I do it's Figma time.

Recording

  • OBS

    Using it to record demo videos and project walkthroughs. Planning to start streaming personal dev work at some point.
