Stuff I Use

I've always had a thing for gadgets; they just make life more interesting and fun. But it's not just about having the latest tech for me. Ever since I read Paul Graham's essay Stuff (which, by the way, is a great read), I've started to focus more on investing in fewer, but higher-quality tech products that really help me get things done. I also love the idea of sharing what works for me, so I've put together a list of the tech gear and software I use and recommend.

My current setup

I work on a LG UltraFine Display with my Apple Macbook Pro 14" M4, using a Logitech MX Master 2S mouse on a Jin Office Electric Standing Desk. My chair is the Featherlite Liberate and the desk is a self-assembled electric standing desk, lit by an Ikea TÅGARP lamp.

Softwares

For browsing, I use Mozilla Firefox. My email is managed through Shortwave and Gmail, while Google Calendar keeps my schedule organized. I manage projects with Basecamp and rely on Perplexity AI, ChatGPT, and Claude as AI assistants. My code editor of choice is Cursor, I take notes in Bear, and handle my to-dos with TeuxDeux.
