A running list of the hardware and software I use.
Inspired by the /uses pages on uses.tech, this is my own version.
I will keep updating it as things change.
Editor & Terminal
- Editor: VS Code, mostly stock settings for now. I'll come back and fill in theme/extensions once I settle on a setup I like.
- Terminal: Windows Terminal.
- OS: Windows 11.
Hardware & Desk Setup
- Keyboard: NuPHY Air60 V2, a 60% wireless mechanical keyboard. Running some custom layouts on it, more detail on that coming later.
- Mouse: Logitech MX Master 2S.
- Monitors: Dual monitor setup, stacked vertically (one on top of the other) instead of side by side. I find looking up and down easier than side to side.
- Desk: Standing/height-adjustable desk. I keep a walking pad under it to get steps in during the day.
- Homelab: An old laptop repurposed as a home server, running Plex and Docker, with a 4TB NAS attached for file storage.
Apps & Software
- PowerToys: Microsoft's Windows utility suite, for window management and other quality-of-life tweaks.
- Ditto: Clipboard manager, useful for storing and reusing snippets.
- Redgate SQL tools: For working with SQL Server/SSMS, snippets and productivity features.
Other Gear
- Headphones: Bose QuietComfort, going on 6 years strong.
- Phone: iPhone 13 mini, just retired an iPhone SE to get here.
While Coding
I'm a big fan of ambient background music, especially Skyrim ambience.
Coffee of choice: coffee, with cream and sugar. Not fancy, just how I like it.
