Things I use

Workstations

• MacBook Pro 13-inch M1 (2020) - 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD
• Dell XPS 13-inch (2017) - 8GB RAM, 1TB SSD
• PC - AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD (Windows 10), 512GB SSD (Ubuntu 20.04)

Peripherals

• Apple Magic Mouse
• Razer Naga
• Keychron K2 Keyboard - Cherry MX Brown (Home office)
• VortexGear Race 3 Keyboard - Cherry MX Brown - My only gripe with this keyboard is the lack of raised ridges to identify the homerow on the F and J keys.
• YubiKey - MFA security keys

Software

The motivation behind these software choices is largely driven by portability. As such, many of the tools I use are cross-platform and easily configured via dotfiles.

• i3wm - A tiling window manager for X11 Linux distributions. Workspaces being accessible via keystrokes is a more intuitive user experience than Alt + Tab
• Neovim - Learning Vim motions has had the largest net benefit to my workflow. Regardless of which editor you prefer give Vim motions a shot. I also find configuration via Lua a more pleasant experience than Vimscript
• Kitty Terminal - Where I spend most of my working days
• Tmux - A terminal multiplexer that makes it easy to manage multiple terminal windows
• Zsh + OhMyZsh - I like that MacOS uses Zsh as the default shell making it easy to share configuration between Mac and Linux
• Catpuccin Mocha - My favorite color scheme
• Bitwarden - Password manager
