Uses

Standing desk with programmable height presets. I alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day.

Worth every penny for the hours I spend at a desk. The lumbar support is unmatched.

27-inch 5K retina. The built-in camera and speakers mean fewer cables and peripherals.

Primary machine. The battery life and performance are incredible for a laptop this portable.

With Touch ID. I've tried mechanical keyboards but keep coming back to the low-profile feel.

The horizontal scroll wheel is essential for timeline work. Pairs with multiple devices.

After years of trying alternatives, VS Code wins on extensibility and ecosystem. Key extensions: Tailwind IntelliSense, ESLint, Prettier, GitLens.

Clean, not too contrasty. I've stopped theme-hopping after settling on this.

Excellent ligatures and readability at small sizes. Free and well-maintained.

Modern terminal with AI assistance, command history search, and collaborative features. Replaced iTerm for me.

AI pair programming in the terminal. Changed how I approach complex refactoring and unfamiliar codebases.

Spaces help me context-switch between projects. The vertical tabs and command bar are game changers.

Full-stack React framework. Server Components and the App Router have simplified my architecture decisions.

Can't imagine going back to plain JavaScript. The confidence during refactoring is worth the upfront cost.

Utility-first CSS that keeps me in flow. v4 is a nice evolution with CSS-first configuration.

Makes complex animations approachable. The declarative API fits naturally with React.

Deploy previews on every PR, zero-config deployments, and great analytics. Just works.

Replaced Spotlight and Alfred. Clipboard history, snippets, window management, and a growing extension ecosystem.

Personal wiki, project docs, and knowledge base. The database features make it flexible for different use cases.

Issue tracking that respects developer experience. Fast, keyboard-driven, and beautifully designed.

Design, prototyping, and collaboration. Dev mode makes handoff seamless.

Password management for personal and team credentials. The CLI integration is great for secrets.

Noise cancellation for focus sessions. Comfortable enough for all-day wear.

For calls and walking around. The transparency mode and spatial audio are excellent.

USB/XLR hybrid mic for video calls and recordings. Great sound without the complexity of an audio interface.
