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
Hackintosh, Intel i9, 64GB RAM (2023)
Building my Hackintosh has been an incredibly rewarding experience. With the power of the Intel i9 processor and 64GB of RAM, it handles anything I throw at it with ease. It’s fast, responsive, and perfect for both development and heavy workloads.
Lenovo ThinkCentre M910q
6th Generation i5 with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of NVMe drives running my HomeLab services.
Keychron K10 Pro Keyboard
I just love the feedback you get from a solid mechanical keyboard. With this being my 3rd Keychron, it has yet to disappoint me.
Logitech MX Master 3
Features precision tracking, quiet click buttons, MagSpeed scroll wheel, app customization and flow between devices.
