Software and Devices I use daily to make my life a little easier or for work
Here are just a few things that I use to build software, stay productive, or purchase to give the excuse of 'it will make me more productive'. When I just thought it was cool. Below is a small list of items.
Workstation
16” MacBook Pro, M1 Max, 32GB RAM (2021)
I was using an Intel-based 16” MacBook Pro prior to this and the difference is night and day. I’ve never heard the fans turn on a single time, even under the incredibly heavy loads I put it through with our various launch simulations.
LG UltraFine UHD 27-Inch Computer Monitor
It may not be one of the best monitors on the market however I love it that I use two of them.
Logitech MX Master 3 Advanced Wireless Mouse
I love the trackpad because Im a heavy user of the multiple desktop macbooks has, and this mouse still allows me to swipe through desktops.
Developement Tools
Visual Studio Code
I use it because it has become one of the top text editors. The only other one I would use would be Nova by panic. I like panic products
Hyper
I am honestly not even sure what features I get with this besides how it looks and that aren’t just part of the macOS Terminal
TablePlus
I like being a little different and use apps that I find intriguiing. It worked well while I was taking classes with Udacity.
Transmit
File manager app that was created by Panic. Their products are well built and I enjoy the easy UI.
Design
Adobe XD
I know I know, it is not Figma however they are growing and adding features. I started with sketch and moved to XD to give it a try.
Figma
I know this is probably the most popular however as you see I use XD just a little more.
Adobe Illustractor
I have been building my skills with this app working at the Agency.
