<Tool title="16” MacBook Pro, M1 Max, 64GB RAM (2021)">
I was using an Intel-based 16 MacBook Pro prior to this and the
difference is night and day. Ive never heard the fans turn on a
single time, even under the incredibly heavy loads I put it
through with our various launch simulations.
</Tool>
<Tool title="Apple Pro Display XDR (Standard Glass)">
The only display on the market if you want something HiDPI and
bigger than 27. When youre working at planetary scale, every
pixel you can get counts.
</Tool>
<Tool title="IBM Model M SSK Industrial Keyboard">
They dont make keyboards the way they used to. I buy these any
time I see them go up for sale and keep them in storage in case I
need parts or need to retire my main.
</Tool>
<Tool title="Apple Magic Trackpad">
Something about all the gestures makes me feel like a wizard with
special powers. I really like feeling like a wizard with special
powers.
</Tool>
<Tool title="Herman Miller Aeron Chair">
If Im going to slouch in the worst ergonomic position imaginable
all day, I might as well do it in an expensive chair.
</Tool>
</ToolsSection>
<ToolsSection title="Development tools">
<Tool title="Sublime Text 4">
I dont care if its missing all of the fancy IDE features
everyone else relies on, Sublime Text is still the best text
editor ever made.
</Tool>
<Tool title="iTerm2">
Im honestly not even sure what features I get with this that
arent just part of the macOS Terminal but its what I use.
</Tool>
<Tool title="TablePlus">
Great software for working with databases. Has saved me from
building about a thousand admin interfaces for my various projects
over the years.
</Tool>
</ToolsSection>
<ToolsSection title="Design">
<Tool title="Figma">
We started using Figma as just a design tool but now its become
our virtual whiteboard for the entire company. Never would have
expected the collaboration features to be the real hook.
</Tool>
</ToolsSection>
<ToolsSection title="Productivity">
<Tool title="Alfred">
Its not the newest kid on the block but its still the fastest.
The Sublime Text of the application launcher world.
</Tool>
<Tool title="Reflect">
Using a daily notes system instead of trying to keep things
organized by topics has been super powerful for me. And with
Reflect, its still easy for me to keep all of that stuff
discoverable by topic even though all of my writing happens in the
daily note.
</Tool>
<Tool title="SavvyCal">
Great tool for scheduling meetings while protecting my calendar
and making sure I still have lots of time for deep work during the
week.
</Tool>
<Tool title="Focus">
Simple tool for blocking distracting websites when I need to just
do the work and get some momentum going.
