Stuff I Use

A small list of the stuff that I use every day. 

Tangible

Macbook Pro 14" M4 Pro: I've been lucky enough to be using Macbooks since around 2013. I bought my first one after selling around 200 Bitcoin. Yes, I try not to think about it much. But I can say all of them are worth the money.

• I've started in 2012 or so with a 13 Macbook Pro
• Upgraded to another Macbook Pro in 2017 right when they had that weird period with the touchbars. Did get the one without a touchbar. 
• The biggest jump was when I upgraded to the M1. 
• And recently upgraded to the M4.  

Sony A7RV: Previously used a Fuji but I was disappointed by the unusable auto-focus. It is something that I carry with me almost everywhere I go. No matter how good mobile phones cameras get, you cannot beat a full-frame sensor (or a APSC/micro one). As a backup I do have a Ricoh GR3 for when I really want to travel light. 

• Lenses: 35mm f1.4 GM, 50mm f1.2 GM, 85mm f1.4 GM, 70-200mm f2.8 GM

iPhone 16 Pro: Great phone, nothing much to else. Gets the job done.  

AirPods Pro: Something that I always have with me, they are incredible. 

Letherman Arc/Wave: I've been caring a multi-tool, a Letherman in particular with me for the last 11+ years. I've used a Skeletool CX until it got lost recently, upgraded to the Arc.

Intangible

NeoVim: As a Vim-er since the beginning of my career, it is indenspensable for my work and it is something that brings me great joy to use, even now after 15+ years. 

Zsh: I do not remember the last time I had Bash as my default shell. 

Tmux: Same as ZSH, it something that is just second nature of my every day working environment. 

Ghostty: Just a great piece of software, runs like butter. 

Dev stack

Go: My main programming language, I've been using it since it didn't even have a version number, just release numbers. I use it a lot less on the work side but it is still the main language for my side projects. Including this very website. 

Postgres/Redis/sqlite: Lately mostly just SQLite, it is enough for most projects.
