Tools I Use

tech

I like tools that are fast, reliable, and get out of the way. Here’s what I’m currently using.

Hardware

  • MacBook Pro 14” — M-series chips changed everything. Silent, fast, all-day battery.
  • Apple Studio Display — Not cheap, but the best screen I’ve sat in front of.
  • Keychron Q1 — Mechanical keyboard with a satisfying thock. Gateron Brown switches.
  • Logitech MX Master 3 — The best mouse for productivity. The scroll wheel alone is worth it.

Software

  • Neovim — My editor. Took a while to configure, but now I can’t use anything else.
  • Wezterm — Fast terminal emulator with great font rendering and Lua config.
  • Arc — My browser. The command bar and spaces are genuinely useful, not just novelty.
  • Raycast — Replaced Spotlight. Fast app switching, clipboard history, snippets.
  • 1Password — Password manager. Non-negotiable.

This Site

  • Astro — Static site generator. Fast builds, zero JS shipped, great content layer.
  • Cloudflare Pages — Hosting. Free tier is generous, deploys are instant.
  • iA Writer — Where I draft posts before moving them to markdown files.

Photography

  • Fujifilm X-T5 — Small, beautiful, and the film simulations are unmatched.
  • Fuji 23mm f/2 — My most-used lens. Sharp, compact, versatile.
  • Lightroom Classic — For editing. I’ve tried alternatives. Nothing’s better for the workflow.
