Uses
What I Use
Hardware, software, and development environment.
Hardware
MacBook Pro M3 Pro 14" — primary machine. Fast, silent, doesn't throttle under Docker load. Built to last.
LG UltraWide 34" — main display. Enough horizontal space for code + terminal side by side without switching windows.
Keychron K3 Pro — mechanical keyboard with Low Profile Blue switches. Tactile enough for typing, quiet enough for calls.
Logitech MX Master 3S — the horizontal scroll wheel is genuinely useful for wide spreadsheets and code diffs.
Software
PhpStorm — IDE for PHP/Laravel. Refactoring, navigation, database tools — nothing compares.
Zed — for everything else. Rust-based, opens instantly.
Warp — terminal. AI command completion saves real time.
TablePlus — database GUI. PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis in one place.
Development environment
Laravel Sail (Docker) — local environment. Reproducible, isolated, doesn't pollute the system.
Homebrew — package manager. Git, Node, Python — all through here.
Oh My Zsh + Starship — prompt with git status and command execution time.
Browser
Arc — primary. Spaces separate work contexts.
Firefox Developer Edition — for testing and DevTools work.
Other
Obsidian — notes. Markdown, graph view, works locally.
Raycast — Spotlight replacement. Fast search, clipboard history, extensions.
