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

  • 49 Inch Curved Samsung Monitor

    The 49" Curved Samsung Monitor is my own productivity playground. Its huge, bright, seamless screen pulls you right into your work. Every task feels smooth and engaging, like a high-end video game. I'm hooked - it's made work more enjoyable than ever before.

  • Thinkpad External Keyboard with Trackpoint

    The unique Trackpoint feature allows for precise pointer movement without the need to shift your hands from the keyboard.

  • Logitech MX Master 3S

    The Logitech MX Master 3S impresses me with its battery life and has some nice to have features like infinite scroll and gesture support.

Productivity

  • Neo Keyboard Layout

    The Neo Keyboard Layout is a modern alternative to the traditional QWERTZ layout. It's optimized for the German language and makes typing more comfortable and faster. I’m using it since I’m 16 and allows me to type at almost 130 WPM

  • EightSleep Cooling Mattress

    The EightSleep Cooling Mattress intelligently adjusts its temperature, making my nights more comfortable. It has significantly improved the quality of my sleep.

  • Notion

    Notion is my (as for many others) go-to tool for organizing my life. It's a powerful, all-in-one workspace that helps me stay organized and productive.

Development tools

  • Jetbrains

    Jetbrains' suite of tools streamlines my coding process, offering intelligent assistance that speeds up my workflow.

  • Github Copilot

    Github Copilot acts as my on-demand pair programmer, suggesting useful snippets and simplifying coding tasks.

  • Vercel

    Vercel enables effortless deployment of my web projects, taking the stress out of maintaining my online projects

Software Choices

  • Javascript

    Javascript forms the backbone of my projects, offering versatility and wide browser support.

  • React

    React allows me to build interactive user interfaces quickly and efficiently.

  • Next.js

    Next.js enhances my React applications, providing features like server-side rendering and static site generation.

  • Tailwind CSS

    Tailwind CSS streamlines my styling process with its utility-first approach, making my design workflow more intuitive.

Fitness

  • Steel Shaker

    I bought way too many plastic shakers in my life. A steel shaker has been a great investment so far and is better for the environment.
