Uses

The stuff I use on a regular basis.

Hardware

The physical tools that power my daily workflow

Apple MacBook Pro 16" (M4 Max)

I once promised myself that I'd never be a Mac user and would stick to my Linux setup forever. Well, here we are. There is a quote from Game of Thrones which I think perfectly describes my journey from Linux to Mac: "I fought, I lost. Now I rest. But you, my dear friend, you'll be fighting Linux drivers forever." (Modified version).

Logitech MX Master 3S

Super comfortable, insane battery life, wireless and matches perfectly with Space Black MacBook Pro.

Logitech MX Keys Mini

Just like the mouse, it is super comfortable, insane battery life, wireless and matches perfectly with Space Black MacBook Pro.

Apple AirPods 4

By far the best product Apple has ever made. Not a fan of the silicon ear tips on the AirPods Pro's so these are my go-tos.

Software

Applications and tools that make development a joy

VSCode (Including Forks)

The only editor that strikes a good balance between having good defaults, being highly configurable and also lightweight. Every other editor I have tried either takes 20 seconds to open up, is a nightmare to configure or does not provide any sensible defaults.

TablePlus

The best database management tool out there. Native application (most competitors are Chromium based), looks beautiful and intuitive to use.

Figma

Thank you for not making me pay for Adobe products. Easy to use, developer friendly and now has great integration with Cursor through their MCP.

Railway

My absolute favourite platform for hosting web applications. I have tried it all, Heroku, Render, Netlify, Vercel and many others, none of them come close to Railway in my opinion. You can get started with $0 - $5 and easily deploy multiple full stack web apps and have observability, logs handled for you. Configuring CI, CDN, CF Tunnels is also a breeze.

Other Awesome Products

Things that make life better outside of code

Vans Old Skool Sneakers

I can walk, run, workout, hike, play sports, go to work or wear them at a fancy event. You can do basically everything in those shoes. Unless it is snowing or there is heavy rain, then you are screwed.

IKEA Markus Chair

As a 196cm tall guy, it is basically impossible to find a comfortable chair that actually feels suitable for you and does not cost 6000 euros. This is a rare gem.
