Uses
The machines, tools, and software I actually reach for. Not a wishlist. A working kit.
I've been gradually upgrading my computer over time, so it's kinda like a PC of Theseus now.
Once you go Ultrawide, you never go back. This one's still the main screen for code and games.
Took the place of the second ultrawide. Sharper, taller, and better when I actually need to read things.
I'm a bit of a keyboard hoarder, but this is my daily driver at the moment. Hall effect TKL, Rapid Trigger, and it finally replaced the TH80.
Retired the Superlight. The MX Master is just better for long days in the editor: MagSpeed scroll, a thumb rest that doesn't fight you, and it still works when I hop to the laptop.
This is the editor I actually live in. Native, fast, and I finally stopped pretending I needed VS Code for web work.
Love the new terminal that Microsoft released with Windows 11. I use it for all my terminal needs because it's super easy to open terminals in different environments like Powershell, WSL, and Git Bash.
PuTTY for the modern age. An absolute breath of fresh air when it comes to SSH management if you access a lot of different servers frequently. Being able to swap between my laptop and desktop and have the SSH keys synced and ready to go is extremely convenient.
Replaced GitKraken. Fast, local, and it doesn't try to be a social network for my repos.
I don't go as crazy as some people do with their 'second brain' stuff, but it's a nice place to keep my notes organized since I often don't need anything fancier than markdown.
My control plane for agents. This is where I actually run them, not a pile of chat tabs.
I keep a Cursor subscription for model access. I don't use it as an IDE.
I use Figma for literally everything I can for design work. Layout, UI, quick comps.
When Figma isn't the right tool. Photo and Designer cover the Photoshop and Illustrator jobs without a subscription treadmill.
