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

Things I use to make stuff, 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

  • 13” MacBook Pro, M1, (2020)

    Stucked with the Apple ecosystem somewhat. Don't mind a sponsor for a newer version.

  • Dell 32 inch 4K Monitor

    Prefer a bigger display so that I can split screen without the need to adjust the browser size. Very useful to have a browser and an editor side by side.

  • Hinomi Chair

    Changed from Secret Lab over to Hinomi as I felt Secret Lab is more suitable if you are seated in an air-conditioned room. No regrets changing.

Development tools

  • VS Code

    The editor that everyone recommends, so it should not go wrong. Although I never tried others. Some extensions are really useful.

  • Jupyter Notebook

    Easier to run small snippets of code to test, although the code might usually get packaged into a .py script.

  • Google Chrome

    Chrome browser for browsing, and occasionally automating stuff using Selenium.

Productivity

  • Notion

    Taking notes using notion.

  • 1Password

    Password manager to manage all my password logins.

  • ChatGPT

    Use it to debug stuff or understand code written by others where I have no experience in.

  • Groq

    Similar to ChatGPT, but faster.
