The tools I use
See uses.tech
I’m a great admirer of Choose Boring Technology, Zen design, and the KISS principle. As such I try to keep my tech stack as simple as possible, for instance by using zero-config tools and the Apple ecosystem.
- I use a 14 inch MacBook Pro. I’m often on the go, so I’m not attached to a proper desktop setup
- At home I have a BenQ GW2790QT + Apple Magic Keyboard + Logitech MX Anywhere 3S
- AltTab for window management
- Google Calendar for scheduling pro/personal events
- Apple Notes for writing down thoughts and ideas – snappier than Notion and does the job
- Apple Reminders on my iPhone for tasks that have a deadline
- Apple Passwords for password management – it’s free!
- Warp + zsh for CLI stuff
- All tools are themed with Rosé Pine when possible
- VSCode for writing code, including Jupyter notebooks
- I store dotfiles on GitHub
- My browser is Arc – I heavily use sidebar pins to keep webapps open (e.g. Slack)
- GitHub Desktop for doing git stuff
- ChatGPT for interacting with our overlords
- GitHub Pro for running code (e.g. git scraping)
- Overleaf for writing LaTeX documents
- Count.co is my go-to SQL editor
