Uses
The stuff I use on the daily. Inspired by uses.tech.
Software
- Editing code: VSCode - I've tried to switch to Neovim but it didn't stick.
- Terminal: Mac Terminal - I don't have enough RAM. iTerm at work.
- Shell: Zsh - No plugin manager, it's all handwritten. Starship prompt.
- Containers: Orbstack - The amount of things I run at once is silly.
- Browsing: Safari - Keychain, Handoff and confirmation codes keep me here.
- Debugging: Firefox - Vastly prefer the dev tools compared to Safari.
- AI Tooling: Claude Code Max - I love it and hate it at the same time.
- Listening to music: Spotify - Indie pop, house, pop punk, metalcore.
- Chatting: Slack - On average I add two emojis per day.
Hardware
- Laptop: Macbook - Windows is hot garbage and Apple Silicon is amazing.
- Desktop: Custom build - Ageing gaming and media editing machine.
- Monitor: 34" Ultrawide - Plus a second vertical monitor.
- Keyboard: Keychron K3 - I'm eyeing off a split keyboard next.
- Pointer: Apple Trackpad - I'm a trackpad guy, the gestures are so good.
- Media Server: Raspberry Pi - Tiny but mighty paired with an Apple TV.
Services
- Static hosting: Netlify - It's free, batteries included.
- VPS hosting: Digitial Ocean - Nothing wrong with keeping it old school.
- Hosting at work: AWS ECS - Containerise the world. Learn all the acronyms.
- Analytics: Plausible - Self hosted, privacy focused and performant.
- Domain names: VentraIP & Porkbun - One for `.com.au` and one for the rest.
