Editor + Terminal

  • Visual Studio Code is my text editor of choice.
  • I'm currently using Monaspace Neon as my coding font of choice.
  • Tabs > spaces. I prefer my tab width set to 3.
  • My editor is (always) in light mode using the GitHub Light theme.
  • To add a bit of friendliness and whimsy into the editor, I've changed the icon set to Catppuccin Icons
  • For the terminal emulator, I'm relying on Ghostty.

Desktop Apps

  • Arc is (still) my daily driver browser.
  • I use Figma for designing things, Notion for note taking, and Linear for project management.

Recording

Desk Setup

  • I'm alternating between sitting and standing using an Autonomous standing desk
  • My desk monitor setup is a pair of Apple Studio Displays side by side, with my laptop in clamshell mode mounted under my desk.
  • I use Apple's Magic Trackpad, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Mouse. Weirdly this combination gives me the least wrist fatigue on long days.
  • When I'm trying to focus — and I'm not in meetings — I use the Sony WH-1000XM5 to blast some music
  • I'm using a M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 24GB of RAM.
