Software I use, gadgets I love, and other things I recommend.
Here's a catalog of items I have for coding, boosting my efficiency, or indulging in the delightful illusion of productivity while playfully sidestepping procrastination.
Workstation

High-quality sit-stand desk with good cable management built-in.
Pretty high-quality ergonomic mesh chair at a fair price.
My go-to device for handwritten notes and casual reading.
Development Tools

Best MacOS terminal by far! A VSCode like experience for your terminal.

My go-to simple text editor! Forever King.
Best way to test and manage your forever growing collection of APIs.
A simple tool for getting any colour value on your screen.

Cool Gadgets

A nice-to-have, low-powered mini computer. I currently use it to send myself a daily email with my last recorded weight from my smart scale.
Productivity
By far the best note taking app and much much more.
A simple tool for resizing and repositioning any window on your screen via hotkeys.
A simple tool for setting small timer reminders throughout your day.
