Hardware

MacBook Air M4 (2024)

16GB RAM, 256GB storage. This thing is fast. The M4 chip handles everything I throw at it — VS Code with 10+ tabs, a dozen terminal windows, Docker containers, multiple browsers with 30+ tabs each, GSAP animations running in dev, and it doesn't break a sweat. Fanless design means it's completely silent. Best laptop I've ever owned.

Software

VS Code

My main editor. Cursor's AI features are nice, but VS Code with the right extensions is unbeatable. I run the GitHub Copilot extension, ESLint, Prettier, and a handful of theme and icon packs. My config is mostly default — I don't spend time tweaking my editor, I spend time writing code.

opencode

The CLI tool I use for AI-assisted development. It runs in the terminal, integrates with my workflow, and doesn't try to replace my editor. I use it for refactoring, code review, and bouncing off ideas when I'm stuck.

Brave

My main browser. Fast, Chromium-based, and the built-in ad blocking means I don't need extensions for the basics. Shields Up mode is the default everywhere. I use it for everything — dev work, browsing, media, you name it.

Firefox

I keep Firefox around for testing and for a few extensions that work better in its ecosystem. The container tabs are great for separating work/personal stuff when I need it. Still respect what Mozilla does, just not my daily driver anymore.

Terminal

I use the built-in macOS terminal with zsh. Nothing fancy — just a clean prompt, a few aliases, and git integration. I spent years customizing my terminal setup and eventually realized I was just procrastinating. Now it's minimal and I get work done.

Other Tools

  • GitHub: Where everything lives. 147+ repos and counting.
  • Cloudflare: DNS, domain management, and some worker scripts.
  • Blender: For 3D modeling when I need it.
  • Unity / Unreal: Game engines I dip into for prototypes.
The best tool is the one you don't notice using.
