Software and hardware that I use, and other things I recommend.

Here are the things that I use to be productive, whether working with software, or working out in the gym.

Workstation

  • MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019), Intel Core i7, 16GB

    My main machine to get things done. Low-key, I wish I had better specs, but as long as I don't run into resource issues while running my containers, it's all good.

  • ROG Strix OLED Gaming Monitor (XG27UCDMG)

    A really good monitor for gaming and productivity. Had it for a several months now and I'd say it's worth the price

Development tools

  • Cursor

    A paid AI code editor, been using it for almost a year now. So far, so good!

  • Google Gemini

    Free tier is good, paid one is worth every penny since I'm heavily using a few Google products.

  • iTerm2 + zsh

    A really nice combo in my opinion. I'm not really keen with CLI, but the power to create custom commands with ease is too good.

  • Postman

    A really powerful tool to create, store collections of HTTP requests and fire them at will.

Gym Gears

  • Apple AirPods Pro (2nd Generation)

    Really good purchase, enables me to get into the zone and focus on my lifts and laps. Plus points for having an excuse to ignore annoying people in the gym.

  • Apple Watch Series 10

    I had to accurately track my running progress and it's been a great help.

  • New Balance 1080v13

    My go-to running shoes for slow-paced or recovery runs.

  • Nike Vomero 18

    My go-to running shoes for faster paced runs.

  • Adidas Dropset 3 Training Shoes

    My go-to shoes for heavy lifting.

  • Generic Wrist Support

    Underrated gym gear in my opinion. People take the importance of wrist support for granted, especially when breaking PR's or lifting heavy in general.
