My everyday work setup

This is what I use to build things and to live my life. To say it's minimalistic would be an understatement.

Hardware

2021 MacBook Pro 14-inch.

That's it. No external monitor, no external keyboard, no external mouse. Just the laptop. That's all I need.

I use an iPhone 16 Pro Max and also I have some old iPad tucked away somewhere.

You think I'm a Apple fanboy, right?

Software

  • Browsers, all of them.
  • Visual Studio Code, for coding.
  • Hyper terminal + ZSH + Oh My ZSH.
  • iA Writer for writing, journaling and note-taking, everything except for code.
  • Slack, Discord, MS Teams, even Skype, for communication.
  • Todoist for task management and reminders.

Services

  • Feedly, for RSS.
  • Netflix, for background noise.
  • Spotify, for road trips and working out.

I'm not trying to keep it simple, but this is all I need. I'm so used to using some of them that I think I couldn't function without them, but they're just tools and I do switch them every now and then.
