Hardware
- MacBook Pro M5 Pro: 24 GB RAM. Regret the minimal RAM (it was what the store had in stock), but the machine is a beast otherwise.
Editor & Terminal
- Zed: Switched from VS Code and not looking back. It’s dramatically faster and feels so much less bloated for agentic coding sessions. Genuinely the best editor I’ve used.
- Claude Code: My daily driver for anything that needs more than a quick edit.
- iTerm 2 + Starship: Moved on from oh-my-zsh because Starship is noticeably faster.
Work
- Google Workspace: Email and docs for Flowstate.
- Slack: Team comms. Also where some customers have dragged me into their workspaces.
- Notion: Internal docs and knowledge base.
- Linear: Project tracking. Nothing else comes close.
- Flowstate: Tracking cost of engineering efforts and AI spend. Yes, I use my own product.
- Microsoft Teams: Purple SharePoint has invaded my life again through some customers.
Personal
- Microsoft 365: Personal email and cloud storage.
- Apple Mail, Calendar & Contacts: The native apps just work. Mostly.
- Apple Music: Fine. Could use some bug fixes.
- Reeder: RSS reader. The way the internet was meant to be consumed.
- 1Password: Saved my ass recently. Use a password manager.
- Amphetamine: Stops my Mac from sleeping. Essential.
Hosting & Infrastructure
- bunny.net: CDN and DNS for this site. Love seeing them grow and build a genuinely great product.
